The Fairbridge Society in Britain held personal and institutional records that may interest people who were placed as children at Fairbridge Farm School, Pinjarra. These records are now managed by The Prince's Trust, which is a British charitable organisation that merged with Fairbridge in 2011. A 'finding aid' has been developed to describe the items that are held in the collection, which also includes academic books and personal recollections. The finding aid is called Information Sheet 14 [Fairbrige Archive, UK].
