Baptist History in Western Australia
The Baptist Historical Society has produced two monographs treating the history of Baptists in Western Australia.
The first takes their story to 1985. As well as a narrative section it has a thematic section dealing with eight areas of significance for Western Australian Baptists in their first ninety years.
In the second work, the centenary volume, the narrative section is not only brought up to date, but has been almost entirely re-written.
While it lacks the thematic section of the first volume, it contains a dictionary covering biographical sketches of those in pastoral ministry as well as significant lay people, profiles of churches, and some general entries.
The first of these two volumes is still available, and may be obtained from:
