History, Records and Collections
The Shore Archives house a fascinating collection of records, images and collectables that relate to the School’s history and culture.
We also hold a limited amount of material on some of our Old Boy’s lives and what they have gone on to achieve and contribute to society. Open every day during Term time, you’ll find an intriguing array of photographs and memorabilia as well as audio-visual content, documents and school items from a bygone age.
The Bob Gowing Museum
The Bob Gowing Museum houses a permanent set of displays. The museum also houses temporary exhibitions on such themes as Old Boys’ efforts during wartime, the history of Graythwaite, recent notable donations and the like.
Oral Histories
Our Oral History Project began in the 1970s and, over the decades, we have curated a large archive of interviews that offer revealing insights into the history of the School. Shore’s Oral Historian is Andrew Cavill and he can be contacted directly on 02 9900 4714 or by email at acavill@shore.nsw.edu.au.
Donations
Our Archives welcome suggested item donations to the School such as photographs, schoolbooks, uniforms and trophies. All pieces will be appraised by our Archivist before being accepted. As the available viewing space is limited, any donated items that cannot be displayed will be securely stored.
