The Nambour Chronicle Digitisation Project was a partnership between Maroochy Libraries, the State Library of Queensland and Caloundra City Libraries. The objective of the project was to digitise the Nambour Chronicle newspaper (1903-55) from microfilm an
"This newspaper holds so much history and information and is a valuable resource for our community. Having it available online makes it more easily accessible for everyone,” Cr Natoli said.
The Nambour Chronicle was the local newspaper for the Sunshine Coast from 1903 until 1980 when the Sunshine Coast Daily was born.
The Chronicle from that period no longer exists in hard copy, but its microfilm version is a valuable research resource for the history, culture and development of the region.
“Unfortunately, constant usage has damaged the microfilm copies of the Chronicle, which are held in Maroochy and Caloundra libraries. It was a decision between maintaining the old films or digitising,'' Cr Natoli said.
