About

Founded in 1958, we are committed to preserving the history and heritage of Kew and its environs. We have an active membership, which meets monthly, and working groups that manage our collection and undertake research. Each year, we publish four newsletters, hold two public lectures, and mount exhibitions at the Kew Court House. We are members of the BHSA, RHSV, AMaGA, and AEHS and have a relationship with PROV as a Class-B Place of Deposit for Temporary Government Records.

Our collection

Our collection includes community archives, artworks, audio-visual material, items of fashion and design, publications, maps and artefacts. The National Library has conducted two Significance Assessments of our collection and a number of items have been declared nationally significant.
