The Bendigo Historical Society holds a large collection of books, documents, photographs, artworks on paper, textiles and objects which is currently housed at the Bendigo Regional Archive Centre. This collection has an important photographic and document record of the city in terms of culture, business and social development over more than 170 years. There is currently no public access to the BHS collection
Some of the activities carried out by the Society include organising guest speakers for members’ meetings, assisting with research enquiries, receiving donations of documents, publications and artefacts for the collection, occasional conservation projects, lending items for displays, offering awards to local school students, liaising with other groups to organise historical events and activities, and participating in local history related events.more About Us
