Richmond River Historical Society
Tourist Information Center - Lismore, NSW
Richmond River Historical Society based in Lismore was formed in 1936 to preserve, collect, display and disseminate historical material relevant to the continuing history of North Eastern NSW.
The Richmond River Historical Society consists entirely of volunteers who maintain, develop, interpret and promote the collections of the Museum and the Research Centre.
The Museum and Research Centre is housed in the old Lismore Municipal Building in premises provided by Lismore City Council. The Society's holdings show the evolution of the Richmond River area and its peoples from the arrival of the Bundjalung people some 6,000 years ago, through the explorations of Captain Henry Rous in 1828, to subsequent white settlement and changing patterns of society and industry leading to our present multicultural society.
Information on individuals, events and places connected with various groups of people can be viewed and studied at the Museum and the Research Centre. The comprehensive collection of material of cultural significance reveals the origins and emerging identity of the residents of the valley.
