The Anglesea & District Historical Society is a non-profit organisation staffed by volunteer members of the community, whose aim is to research and preserve history of the local area. We welcome new members. If you are interested in joining our group please fill in our Membership Form.

Monthly Program: Each month we have a variety of topics and activities to suit the historian, with guest speakers, historical DVD's / videos, and outings.
Meetings are held on the first Sunday of each even month at 2:00 pm at History House. Or at other indicated venue.
Outings or activities are held on the odd months: March, May, July, September, and November. Program details.

New book:
We have recently completed our new book, Changing Face of Anglesea Structures. Most of Anglesea early structures exist only in history. Bushfires, white ants and developers have taken their toll. This book shows in pictures how Anglesea has changed over the last 100 plus years.

The has 90 pages and is selling for $29.95. Books are available from Anglesea News & Lotto, History House when open, or from Jan Morris phone 0448 526 311. Payment is by cash or EFTPOS.

Research service:
Your queries about Anglesea and district's history, early families or houses are very welcome. If research is required, there is an up-front charge of $10 for up to an hour of our research, and then $10/hour after that if further research on the topic is requested. Written reports can be provided, possibly also with photographs if available.
