We need volunteer helpers!

We would love to hear from you if you have spare time in which you would like to do something worthwhile - and would like to become part of our history project.
We have a fabulous collection and are looking for people with the right skills who can work relatively unsupervised once a task has been set.
Can you lead a project? Can you raise funds, and write funding submissions? Do you enjoy doing independent research at the National Archives and the Public Records Office? Do you enjoy being a host at our exhibition on Sundays? Do you like interviewing, then writing and editing media releases about our exhibition? Do you enjoy training others? Do you like recruiting and managing volunteers? Do you enjoy taking up a cause and working with Council to implement heritage conservation plans? Are you good with managing finances in a treasurer role? Do you like working with young people to coordinate a filming project?

  1. Hi There,

    My dad lived at the Benalla Migrant Camp when he arrived with his family as a small boy.

    We often visited this site as children and dad would show us around and tell us stories of his camp days.

    I was delighted to hear that it has now been heritage listed.

    I'm not sure if you are aware of the Community Heritage Grants available through the Australian Government. (I work at the State Library of Queensland, and they were recently noted in a staff newsletter). My thoughts went straight to you!

    Grant funding applications close 5pm on 6 May, with awards up to $15K.

    Anyways, I thought I'd forward it along for your information.

    It looks like these are annual awards, so if not this year, maybe an idea for next.

    More information is available here: https://www.nla.gov.au/awards-and-grants/chg

    1. Dear Tasha, thank you so much. We are aware of these grants. We are keen to apply for the National Significance Assessment of our Collection but did so once before, unsuccessfully. We are now doing a lot of work to the collection, cataloging and photographing.
      Why not like and follow us on Facebook ... your dad might be interested in some of our posts too.
      thanks for taking an interest!

  2. We will apply again when we feel ready, not this year anyway. Would you like to become involved in our project - we could do with your obvious skills
