Searching has unearthed almost 150 writers who have a connection with Albury and District. They may have been born here, lived here, written here, or written about this area. Combined, these writers have left behind about 1,900 pieces of published work - poems, short stories and novels, without counting the various reminiscences and histories.

Some authors have been much anthologised in the past, yet so much writing is sadly ephemeral by nature. It becomes lost on microfilms amongst forgotten news, and on yellowing paper in books long since opened. This has been the fate of great writing as much as it is the fate of the genuinely forgettable.

ReCollecting Albury Writing provides a collection 55 works, covering the period from 1859 until the present day.
