Albany Historical Society Inc

The collection held by the Albany Historical Society (AHS) is one of the most prestigious and oldest collections in Western Australia. It is a diverse and valuable resource for researching the history of Albany and Western Australia. The AHS has a remarkable collection of historic artefacts, books, documents, and art pieces catalogued, restored and displayed by volunteers.

More than half of the five thousand objects and artefacts that are a part of the society's collection are exhibited at one of the AHS's historic buildings or outdoor sites. These items include everyday objects from pioneering farms, maritime trading enterprises, early homes, and workplaces.

The collection was established in 1962 with donations from descendants of early settlers, and it continues to grow in all aspects of the diverse and significant cultural heritage of Albany and Western Australia.

Currently, the society has collections of items on display at St John's Ambulance Sub Centre, Model Railway Association, the Brig Amity, and the Residency Building at the Museum of the Great Southern.
