Yass Valley History Centre

What we do

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

We actively collect documents, photographs and relics associated with the area, its landmarks and people.

 
  • The Yass Valley History Centre includes an exhibition space and an extensive archive of historical records.
  • We offer a personalised research service, whatever your history interest.
  • We actively promote and share our history in collaboration with a range of community groups.

  • We hold and preserve the records of community groups, businesses, people and government bodies.

  • We encourage owners of historic places to research their buildings to help in decisions about their properties.

  • We share local stories on our Facebook and Instagram pages, through our journal Boongaroon and in local and regional press.
