Collection

Narbethong History Group is only recently formed and is definitely in the research phase — we are avidly searching for any and all historical and heritage items we can find.

If you have any information, photos or artifacts that should be preserved, especially those in danger of disappearing forever, please contact us. And remember that what seems common-place today can become heritage later — the significance is not measured by how "old" it is.

Historical Enquiries

Narbethong History Group is happy to receive Historical Enquiries relating to Narbethong district. We cannot guarantee answers, for queries that require a large amount of volunteer effort we would expect some compensation, and we would hold a copy of results in our records.

Narbethong History Book

As a focus for collecting and organising historical material about Narbethong, Narbethong History Group has decided to produce a Book.

Not all material collected will be included in the Book, but the Book provides an excellent vehicle for a research methodology. Content is presently scoped as

  • geography: Narbethong and events elsewhere that directly impact upon Narbethong
  • time: from indigenous traditional land custodians through to the completion of the Community Hall (planned October 2011)

We are recruiting YOU, the holder of Narbethong heritage or historical information (such as photos, newspapers, pamphlets or letters), to share content with us.
