They have scanners so you can get digital copies whilst viewing. Handy for getting plans into CAD etc... The archives office have no intention to for digitize the collection of microfiche which means they will slowly degrade and be lost. Scan what you want and share it! I was there recently perving on plans of the V class....

The fact it was organised by my exwife (my girlfriend at the time) astounds me even more - she wasn't that romantic - but she hit a home run with this one! We repeated the experience a year later, and also treated both sets of parents at another time. A truly magical experience - staff, location, food... All brilliant. Bring it back - charge a little more to make it financially worthwhile - Perth needs something like this!
