Established in 2010, the Collector and District Historical Association is dedicated to researching, collating and preserving the rich history of the Collector village and surrounding areas. The Association is currently working with other local groups in the development of Collector History Park (Church St) to commemorate the multiple facets of Collector’s history including its indigenous heritage, pioneers and early establishments such as the Reverend Robert Cartwright’s school and parsonage. The Association also supports the annual ANZAC Day dawn service held at Collector’s war memorial.
Under normal circumstances the Association meets bi-monthly at the Bushranger Hotel.
Resources
The Association has produced a number of resources including:
- Collector History Tour Book, and
- Collector ANZACs
These publications are available for sale for $10 each. Please contact the Association for further information.
If you have any photographs or historical memorabilia related to Collector and district people and/or places which you think may be of interest, the Association would love to hear from you. Items loaned to the Association will be treated with the utmost care, and following authorised digital copying, will be promptly returned.
