Robert Stephens Collection

The Robert Stephens Collection is named after the benefactor, Robert Stephens (1886-1974). Robert Stephens was a distinguished local historian and researcher who donated his large collection to the Town of Albany upon his death.

He was a member of the Royal Western Australian Historical Society and was made a Fellow in 1967.

He co-wrote the definitive history of the explorer, Edward John Eyre "Waterless Horizons", and contributed eleven research papers to the historical journal, Early Days.

His collection has been organised into an archive, by Audrey Dunn and later by Roy & Beatrice Little. A summary of the topical division of files is accessible at Summaries of Manuscript Files .
