The Kew Historical Society was founded in 1958, and is one of the oldest continuing historical societies in Melbourne. For over 60 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 and the Australian Museums and Galleries Association. It co-operates with other historical societies and groups across the City of Boroondara through the Boroondara Historical Societies Association.
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.
EXHIBITIONS
Kew Baby Health Centre (1939) and Country Roads Board buildings (1960)
POST-WAR KEW: CONTINUITY & CHANGE
The exhibition at the Kew Court House has had to close early due to Council’s decision to paint the interior of the building. We are sorry if you missed out, given we had said that it could be viewed till mid December.
