Information from the donor, Natale Cerini's daughter: He was a retired accountant who commenced the Surrey Hills Observer, one of the early free local papers, in about 1933 at the request of the Surrey Hills Progress Association of which he was a member.

The Observer was self-funding through its advertisements which Mr Cerini personally collected throughout the area.
