The Henry Royce Foundation, Queensland Branch

Australia is a vast country with population centres thousands of kilometres apart in different States. As the Archives of the Sir Henry Royce Foundation are housed in Melbourne, Victoria, it was decided that Sub-Archives be established in Queensland. In Brisbane, items with special Queensland provenance will be housed along with any copies of Archival material from Melbourne. Details of all Queensland catalogued items are forwarded to the Archivist for the central database of the SHRF. There are future plans for another larger premise in Queensland to house various exhibits including Royce engines which are heavy and bulky.
