Yass Valley History Centre

We are an active community group that studies, preserves and promotes the history of the Yass Valley.

We have an extensive and unique collection of documents, photographs, maps and plans and relics associated with the area, its landmarks and people.

The Yass Valley History Centre includes an exhibition space with regularly changing exhibitions.
We have an extensive archive of records documenting the history of people, families, businesses, community and other organisations in the Yass Valley.
Whatever your history interest, we offer a personalised research service to suit your needs – family, social, agricultural, military, property, mercantile, local government, medical.
Our program of talks, presentations and activities open to our members and the public (for a fee) promote the history and heritage of the Yass Valley.
We actively work with a range of community groups to promote and share our history.
We share stories on our Facebook and Instagram pages, through our journal Boongaroon and in local and regional press.
Our extensive photograph collection can be browsed and electronic copies of photos purchased.
