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.

  • We have an extensive archive of records documenting the history of people, families, businesses, community and other organisations in the Yass Valley.

  • 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.
