In 1992 Shire of Eltham Historical Society member and Kangaroo Ground resident, Bruce Ness became aware that the old school teacher residence at Kangaroo Ground School was no longer being used. Over the years Bruce had been storing a growing collection of the Society's artifacts and objects including various machinery and farm tools. He proposed that this might present an opportunity to set up a museum with the Society's objects. It was proposed that a board be appointed containing representatives of the Society, the School Council, Shire of Eltham and "Friends of the Andrew Ross Museum." As a consequence, most of the Society's objects were transferred to the museum and the Society became more focused on documents, maps and photographs, etc.Roll of 35mm colour negative film, 3 stripsFuji 100shire of eltham historical society

[from EDHS Newsletter No. 24, May 1982:] WILLIAMSTOWN TRIP The trip to Williamstown on 21st March was highly successful from any point of view, The one disappointment was that we were so successful in filling the bus that a few people with late bookings could not go. We apologise to those that missed out. The Williamstown Historical ........ us their excellent museum, arranged afternoon tea and provided a well informed guide for a trip around the sights of their city. Their obvious enthusiasm for informing visitors about Williamstown contributed in no small way to the enjoyment of the day.Twelve colour photographsactivities, williamstown, williamstown historical society

[from EDHS Newsletter No. 46, January 1986:] Our bus trip to Portsea was considered by many to be one of the most enjoyable staged by the Society. Peter Collins of the Peninsula Historical Society travelled with us as a guide. He proved most informative and entertaining, particularly with regard to the Army and Quarantine Reserve at Point Nepean. We also visited the Museum at Sorrento and the site of the 1803 First Settlement. This was a long and tiring, but very rewarding, trip.Colour photographactivities, portsea, sorrento
