Message from the CEO
For more than 20 years, I have had the privilege of being part of the Albany Historical Society and witnessing the passion and dedication that continues to drive our organisation forward.
Together with our volunteers, members, staff and supporters, the Society proudly preserves and shares Albany’s rich and diverse heritage through our museums, collections, archives and historic sites. Every year, thousands of volunteer hours contribute to keeping these important stories and places accessible to our community and visitors.
Albany/Kinjarling holds a unique and significant place in the history of Western Australia — from the enduring culture of the Menang people to the many generations who have shaped our region over time. Preserving and sharing these stories is at the heart of everything we do.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support the Albany Historical Society and help us protect our history for future generations.
