The Hamilton History Centre is a volunteer-based research facility dedicated to the collection, preservation and cataloguing of historical records of Hamilton and the surrounding region which are made available for research purposes.

Their collection includes over 2000 local historical photographs, cemetery records, German settlement history, war records, family history records, parish maps, pastoral properties, records of Hamilton residences, shops and businesses, as well as church and school records. All visitors are welcome.

The Centre has a vast and diverse collection of resources for the family history researcher. These cover the local area as well as further afield. Many of these resources are not available online and the Hamilton History Centre offers a real opportunity for genealogists to break through a brick wall or find a piece of information they’ve long been searching for.

The Hamilton History Centre also has an extensive collection related to their local history. Collected and curated over the last 30 years, the collection covers Hamilton and the district from early settlement up until recent times. These resources are in various forms and cover a huge range of topics.

Open Sunday to Friday 2 pm to 5 pm. Closed on public holidays and during the Christmas/New Year and Easter periods. Saturday and other times by appointment.
