The Society is managed by a Committee: President, Christine Yeats; Vice-Presidents, Ellen Waughe; Secretary, Paul Convy; Treasurer, Geoffrey Lewis; and members, Christie Hamilton, Georgina Keep, Lyn Smith, and Sue Tracey and Hazel Brombey.
The Society operates a modern centre on Level 2 of the Bowen Library at Maroubra. It includes research facilities and research material relating to the history of Randwick.
The Society's volunteers staff its research centre, undertake research, complete administrative work and maintain its collections. The Society always welcomes new volunteers to assist in its work.
