Calling all Ballarat history buffs and enthusiasts! Join us to delve into the stories of Ballarat’s past.

History chat is informal and relaxed.

Maps tell the story of how towns grew, suburbs shifted and streets appeared or disappeared over time. Join us to look at some historical maps of Ballarat and surrounding areas. We will also look at Public Record Office Victoria (PROV)’s Map Warper for new users.
