Moree and District Historical Society is continuing work to preserve the former Moree Lands Office building which was built in 1893. The Society is preparing the site to become Moree's first general Museum, which we plan to open in 2023 after a lift has been installed and the condemned front staircases restored. Currently we open the Society s operating rooms downstairs and the grounds two days a week for the public to drop in, and on other days, by appointment. These hours will be extended in the near future. The Society has become the custodian of the Moree Sporting Hall of Fame. The walls of one display room in the museum have been dedicated for the display of photographs of significant district sports people with information and memorabilia relating to their achievements. This display will be continually updated as new inductees meet the eligibility criteria. It is planned that the Sporting Hall of Fame, nearing completion, will be a focus of our opening events. Moree and District Historical Society continues to assist many people with family history research and local historical research generally. To coincide with national Reconciliation Week, the Society provided photographs and information to Trans4m Rail, contracted on the Inland Rail project, to enhance their historic display of the men who worked on the railways. We have been assisting the Archives Officer of Moree Plains Shire Council with information, documents, plans and photographs intended for a display to mark the 2023 centenary of Moree Memorial Hall and we provided similar support to the Moree branch of CWA for their centenary this year. Because of preparations in the upstairs museum spaces, the Society is now able to accept donations of items of historical significance which might otherwise have been thrown out after the passing of parents/grandparents. We regard this conservation of our district heritage as most important.
