Collection

The Mudgee Museum has a broad range of items in its collection, principally from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and with many items of Australian manufacture. The collection contains circa 60,000 items displayed in several buildings on site which include a mid-nineteenth century hotel, an early twentieth century church, and a replica of a slab hut.

Family History Research

An important part of the operations of the Mudgee Historical Society Inc involves family history research. Archives have been compiled since the foundations of the Society in 1964 and our volunteer research team members are able to conduct research from the Society’s now extensive resources which range from original documents to computerised databases.

Mudgee Museum (under the management of Mudgee Historical Society) has been undergoing a great number of changes both in the form of refurbishment and the creation of new displays. We are currently seeking anyone who lives locally and may have a couple of hours a week...

We are thrilled to have been successful in a grant from AMaGA that has allowed us to purchase a new computer, monitor and other associated hardware. The grant has also allowed us professional support from an IT consultant who works for not-for-profit organisations.

The new equipment and software will not only assist with streamlining our communication systems and research capabilities, but also will help in the preservation of the Historical Society’s archives. This will involve ongoing digitisation and indexing thanks to the support of hard-working volunteers. The archives contain an amazing array of unique and significant items that are specific to the local area – old business ledgers, property information, and family history documents. The digitisation of the archives will in time allow greater public access to these valuable records.
