A collection of photos and newspaper clippings recording the life of Howarth family when they lived at Parliament House. 

Colin Howarth was the Housekeeper of the Legislative Assembly.  He lived in an apartment at Parliament House with his wife, June and son, Darren. 

The apartment was in the undercroft of the building, at the northern end.  An equivalent apartment at the southern end was the residence of the Housekeeper of the Legislative Council.

The collection includes a newspaper clipping showing Darren's younger step-brother, Jamie, holding a placard as part of a group of children protesting the closing of Yarra Park School.
