The Northcote History Group

We’d love to hear from you! Write a brief description (see details below in Submitting Material) and email it so that others will know of your important work. This site is specific to Northcote, so the work has to have a context to be included. Northcote includes the environs of Alphington, Fairfield, Westgarth, Thornbury. It also includes the area between Merri Creek and Queens Pde which is now Clifton Hill.

Even if you don’t want others to know. Still drop a line to this web site. We like to know what projects are being undertaken to prevent duplication.

When the work is finished, published, CD-ROM’d, or whatever. Please do the following in the interest of historical research for others – and getting the kudos (but little money) for your work!

• Send a copy to City of Darebin for inclusion in the Darebin Historical Archive.

• Send a copy to the Prahran Mechanics Institute – they have extensive Local History archives.

• Send a copy to the State Library of Victoria.

• Send a copy to Royal Historical Society of Victoria.
• If it is distributable – eg: book, DVD, etc. – send a copy to Darebin Libraries.*

  * If you are trying to sell copies think of Information Victoria in Collins St. They will take on consignment material relating to Local History. You will need to send a copy to the National Library of Australia. Investigate ISBN’s for your work as well. Use this link.

  NHG will not forward material onto any organisation, apart from the Darebin Historical Archive.
