Marysville and District Historical Society

The Marysville and District Historical Society was founded in 1969 and was previously housed in the former RSL Building. In 2009, the Black Saturday bushfires destroyed this building and the Society's collection. The Society purchased its current premises in 2010 and since then has set about rebuilding its collection, much of which is displayed within its History Centre.

The History Centre houses a comprehensive collection that tells the many stories of the district. The collection includes photographs, images, objects, registers, documents, letters, textiles, digital forms, and research material. The History Centre also has a strong educative philosophy and aims to use the collection to educate the public and enable research.

Much of the Society's collection has been catalogued on the Victorian Collections database and has either been digitally scanned or photographed and this is an ongoing work in progress.

Group tours and special museum openings are available by request.
