Reading History
Major resource for the telling of Manilla's history down the years has been the town's newspaper, The MANILLA EXPRESS. Founded by the Vincent Family of Printers, it has been going to print on a continual basis since publishing its first edition on January 14, 1899. Most original copies of the newspaper are held in the Manilla Community Archives, along with a set on microfilm, processed by the University of New England. The only remaining first edition is held in the Australian National Library. |
