I want to find the location of all the old hotels in Launceston, and a picture of them. So maybe ALL is not possible, but as many as possible.

I do this by tracing the changes in sign (name), licensee and location through the annual licensing lists, and anything other information I come across. There’s a lot missing though. Oral and family history can help fill in the gaps, so comments are welcome.

I am available to do research at a reasonable rate. Details here.

Also, if you’d like a photo of a building, I might be able to help there. Details here.
