ABOUT US
The historical society
Our mission is to promote awareness of Trentham and surrounding districts, in particular its local history, and the role this history played in Australia’s wider history.
Specifically, we:
Collect, preserve and display items of historical interest for the education and enjoyment of the community
Undertake research and produce publications, and help other people to undertake research
Preserve and maintain the historical precinct at 3 Camp St. Trentham, which includes the Old Police Station (OPS) and our new Archive Centre
our committee
The Trentham and District Historical Society has over the years accumulated (and continues to receive) documents, photographs, maps, artefacts and other material (“the collection”) relating to its history. A major function of the Society is to catalogue and maintain this collection so that it is accessible to researchers and the community.
The committee of the TDHS meets every month to discuss the ways in which it can bring our local history to the area. We play an active role in Trentham’s festivals and public events, and are an integral part of the local community.
