The Kew Historical Society was founded in 1958, and is one of the oldest continuing historical societies in Melbourne. For over 65 years, the Society has worked with local government and other organisations within Kew to stimulate interest in our history and heritage. The Society is affiliated with the Royal Historical Society of Victoria (RHSV), the Australian Museums and Galleries Association (AMaGA), the Boroondara Historical Societies Association (BHSA) and the Association of Eastern Historical Societies (AEHS).
The Society acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the ancestral homelands upon which our premises are situated. We respect their Elders, past, present and future and recognise their continuous connection to Country.
