The Box Hill Historical Society was formed in 1963. Since then volunteers have worked to collect, preserve and share the unique history of the suburbs of Box Hill, Box Hill North and South, Mont Albert, Mont Albert North, Burwood and that part of Surrey Hills which was formerly located in the City of Box Hill.

The Box Hill Historical Society is affiliated with the Royal Historical Society of Victoria and is a member of the Association of Eastern Historical Societies.

Membership of the society offers many benefits, as well as helping to preserve and maintain their local history.

The Society holds mainly paper-based records, with some small artefacts.  Their main catalogue lists items such as photographs, manuscripts, books, ephemera and loose newspaper cuttings.

It is accessed through the Whitehorse Manningham Regional Library website, is updated quarterly, and is combined with the catalogue of the Doncaster & Templestowe, Warrandyte and Whitehorse historical societies. Catalogue
