About Us
The Randwick and District Historical Society Inc. was founded in 1957. It aims to document the history of Randwick City and nearby areas.
The Society is managed by a Committee: President, Hazel Brombey; Vice-Presidents, Christine Yeats and Ellen Waugh; Secretary, Paul Convy; Treasurer, Geoffrey Lewis; and members, Georgina Keep, Lyn Smith, and Sue Tracey and Freda Backes.
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.
The Society is funded chiefly from the subscriptions and donations of its members and the sale of its publications.
The Society is affiliated with the Royal Australian Historical Society and the History Council of NSW.
