About Sutherland Shire Historical Society
Sutherland Shire Historical Society, founded in 1966, is a community group interested in preserving and raising awareness of our local history – from Aboriginal occupation to the arrival of Captain Cook and white settlement.
We tell the story of our heritage in various ways: collecting artefacts for display in our museum, researching and publishing histories for our quarterly Bulletin, our website and other publications, and we work to help preserve our natural and built heritage.
