The Society
The Fitzroy History Society is for anyone interested in the history of the Fitzroy area. You don’t have to live in the area to be a member. We conduct a lively program of events each year, including walks and talks. We also plays an active role in preserving Fitzroy’s heritage. Members receive a regular newsletter which advises of upcoming events, reports on recent activities, and includes stories about particular aspects of Fitzroy’s History.
Our objectives are:
- To promote, encourage and undertake studies of the history of the suburbs of Fitzroy and North Fitzroy and all matters directly or indirectly relating to it.
- To document, record and publish findings for community interest.
- To promote the collection and compilation of authentic and accurate records relating to the history and cultural heritage of Fitzroy and North Fitzroy.
- To involve the community, disseminate information and support the City of Yarra to make records accessible to members of the public.
The Fitzroy History Society Inc. is a not-for-profit organisation. It is registered with the Department of Consumer Affairs, Victoria as an Incorporated Association.
