The Swan Guildford Historical Society is dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich history of Guildford and the Swan region in Western Australia.
The Society was established in 1962 and is a Volunteer led organisation that is registered with the ACNC as an Incorporated Association and a registered charity.
The Society operates on a not-for-profit basis and all proceeds received by the Society are used by the Society in the achievement of its Mission and Objectives.
The mission of the Society is to collect, conserve, research and display:
The development of the early Guildford settlement as a port supporting the Swan Valley and inland agricultural regions.
The development of the Swan River Colony.
The ongoing history of the town of Guildford and the Swan Valley region and interpret with integrity the history of the people and the places.
Heritage includes our built and natural environment, identified Aboriginal places, cultural traditions, events, celebrations, art, monuments, memorials and memories.
The Society achieves this by maintaining a historical museum precinct, to interpret the history of people and places around Guildford and the Swan Valley Region.
The Society promotes public interest in the collection and preserves historical records, including documents, buildings and sites.
