	Hi Judy First port of call would be the State Library of WA. As with all the major Australian libraries, they have an excellent (and free!) ''Ask a librarian'' service, whereby they should be able to tell you what's available by email. Links from: http://www.liswa.wa.gov.au/refserv.html By the way, I live not far from the Claremont Asylum (now called Graylands Hospital). It's still operational and many of the old buildings still stand. Cheers Richard
