EDHS encourages interest in the local history of the Eltham district predominantly within the Shire of Nillumbik. We collect, preserve and share local stories. Activities include a regular program of excursions and meetings with guest speakers which are held at the Eltham Senior Citizens Centre. We manage a significant collection and are active online sharing collection items and stories. We produce a bi-monthly informative newsletter (and welcome contributions).
The Local History Centre is in the former Police residence (1859) at 728 Main Road, Eltham (corner Brougham Street). This is located between the former Eltham Courthouse (1860) and the replica Eltham Police station, which can be visited by arrangement.
The Society was established in 1967.
New members and visitors welcome.
