Meet the Maker

Lisa Lipman is the founder of Lost Manly and a fourth-generation Manly local (Freshwater / Harbord). Now living in Norway, Lisa researches, restores and shares the visual and social history of Sydney’s Northern Beaches. A lifelong genealogist and local history enthusiast, her work focuses on preserving everyday photographs, stories and memories so they are not lost to time.

From time to time, a small selection of these restored images becomes prints, calendars or keepsakes — simply to support the ongoing archival work behind Lost Manly.
