The Adelaide Catholic Archdiocesan Archives hold a small number of photographs of the orphanage at Largs Bay.
The Adelaide Catholic Archdiocesan Archives is open to the public from 9.30 to 4.30 Monday to Friday, but access to the Archives is by appointment only. Students and researchers may be allowed access to the Archives after applying in writing to the Archivist, requesting permission to view documents. They must state clearly the nature and purpose of their research. Applications can be made on the form, ‘Application for Access to the Archives’ which is available on the website under the heading, ‘Policies and Forms’.
Fees are charged for assisted research and photocopying. Please note, however, the Archives does not charge any fees to former residents of Catholic Homes seeking their records.
