Newspaper - Rutherglen Sun and Chiltern Valley Advertiser. Vol. 88. No. 26. Thursday, July 1, 1971

Rutherglen Historical Society, Rutherglen

Single issue of newspaper, The Rutherglen Sun and Chiltern Valley Advertiser, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Rutherglen Shire. The main section of the paper consists of 8 pages covering the shire council and Rutherglen itself at the time of publication. There is an 8 page insert on slightly smaller paper covering the founding of the shire, and the early history of the region.

Historical information

Special issue of the Rutherglen Sun to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Rutherglen Shire. This issue may be one of the few available, as it does not appear to have been included in the bound copies of the Rutherglen Sun held by the State Library of Victoria, from which microfilm copies of these papers were produced. The Rutherglen Historical Society has scanned this issue so that the digital copy may be used for reference, and the paper copy carefully preserved.
