The HRRC Mission
Through the Historical Records Rescue Consortium (HRRC) a Lotterywest Grant has been awarded to rescue and make accessible the most at-risk and in-demand historic newspapers, photographs and films in the J S Battye Library of West Australian History (Battye Library). HRRC will manage the $3 million Lotterywest grant for the benefit of the entire community, and acknowledges that without Lotterywest's vital support the people of Western Australia would lose unique and priceless historical records.
