Eastern Riverina Chronicle
The Eastern Riverina Chronicle, previously published as The Observer, The Henty Observer and Culcairn Shire Register and Shire's Observer, the Eastern Riverina Observer and the Holbrook, Billabong & Upper Murray Chronicle, is a newspaper published in Henty, New South Wales, Australia.
History
[edit]The Observer was first published in 1906 using equipment bought from The Border Post, and Wodonga Advertiser, an Albury newspaper which had ceased operation in 1902.[1][2] It was also titled The Henty observer and Culcairn Shire register and Shire's observer.[1] The press moved a number of times in Henty until, after a fire destroyed its premises in 1933, a new building was constructed. The paper continued to be based from this building until 2008, when it was converted to a museum.[2][3] In 1981 it changed name to the Eastern Riverina Observer and remained in publication under this title until 2003.[4]
In 2003, the Observer merged with the Holbrook, Billabong & Upper Murray Chronicle (which had been in publication since 1989) to form the Eastern Riverina Chronicle.[5][6]
Digitisation
[edit]The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program project of the National Library of Australia.[7][8]
