Albury & District Historical Society works to collect, investigate, research, record, preserve, exhibit, facilitate, discuss and publish material relevant to the region’s rich heritage.

The Society maintains a program of meetings, research and publications, and cooperates and liaises with other institutions including the AlburyCity LibraryMuseum, and other regional historical societies and museums. A folk museum collection assembled by the Society was formally given to the City of Albury in 2003 and now forms the basis of the “Crossing Place” exhibition at the Albury LibraryMuseum.

The objectives of the Albury & District Historical Society include:

• To assist with the collection, storage and exhibition of local and regional historical materials and artefacts.
• To support and facilitate the recording and publication of local and regional histories, and the dissemination of this material.
• To help secure the preservation of places and objects of historical interest.
• To provide a forum for the dissemination of information and discussion of topics of local and regional history via monthly meetings of the Society.
• To interact and cooperate with other community groups enabling the Society to more readily achieve its objectives.
