The Local Studies Library is on the first floor of Southport Library, on the corner of Garden and Lawson Streets, and offers a wide range of information about the history, culture, environment and development of the Gold Coast region. Our resources include stories, images and documents recording our city's history and heritage.
If you want to learn more about the Gold Coast, are curious to see how your suburb once looked, or interested in tracing your family history, we're here to help. Please email us with any non-urgent requests.
Time-limited free parking is provided outside the library. This includes accessible parking spaces for people with disabilities.
Our libraries are closed for Gold Coast public holidays.
