Broadland House Church of England Girls Grammar School

‘The Broadland Papers’

1845-2022

2nd Edition to November 2022

​

Broadland House Old Girls Association Presidents and Alumni have regularly raised questions on the whereabouts of Broadland House Church of England Girls Grammar School historic documents.

To ensure the history of 'The Best School of All' could be found by future historians it was decided by the Broadland House OGA that a document be created and to be called -  The Broadland Papers. 

  

​

Since the 1st publication in February 2020 additional information has been found and now included in the 181 page 2nd edition.

The Broadland Papers is a compilation of many and varied ‘found’ documents, extracts from the Latifundia magazine, The Establishment for Young Ladies, Old Girls Association journals, Tasmanian Newspapers, TROVE and the D V Gunn Archives on the Launceston Church Grammar School Senior Campus.
