Sunshine And District Historical Society Incorporated
Overview
The Sunshine And District Historical Society Incorporated is a nonprofit organisation dedicated to preserving and promoting the history of Sunshine and its surrounding districts. Established in 1972, the Society focuses on encouraging the study and recording of local historical events and artifacts.
Mission and Activities
The Society's mission is to collect, preserve, and exhibit historical items related to the region, including documents, photographs, and other artifacts. It plays a significant role in maintaining historical records such as those from the Sunshine Technical School, dating back to 1913, and media like the Sunshine Advocate. Additionally, it preserves films made by notable individuals like J.J. Jackson.
Historical Preservation Efforts
One of the notable accomplishments of the Society is its involvement in securing a home for its operations. Through collaboration with local entities, it was able to establish a base in the caretaker's cottage at the Hunt Club Hotel in Deer Park. This facility supports the Society's archival work and provides a space for research and community engagement.
Collection Highlights
The Society's collection is diverse and includes:
- Sunshine Technical School Records: These date back to 1913 and highlight the association with HV McKay, an important figure in Australian industrial history.
- Media Archives: The Society holds hard copies of the Sunshine Advocate and films by J.J. Jackson.
- Community Life: The collection helps build a narrative of community life in Sunshine and its districts over time.
Impact and Recognition
The Sunshine And District Historical Society is recognized for its contributions to local history preservation. Its work has been acknowledged by larger institutions, such as the National Museum of Australia, which has borrowed significant items from the Society's collection. The Society's efforts are also reflected in its contributions to Victorian Collections, a platform for sharing historical materials in Victoria.
