Hardcopy Sales & Library Holdings

In 2007, the SUHR disposed of its unsold stock of hardcopy publications.

Stock which was in an unspoiled state was donated to the SA community organisations listed below on this page to provide product to sell for fund-raising purposes.

These organisations were approached on the basis of their interest in maritime heritage & archaeology, their community role, their non-profit status and ability to directly sell or distribute to the general public. The donated publications are listed after the organisations' names & addresses. The remainder of the hardcopy publication stock was recycled.
