Toodyay Historical Society

The Toodyay Historical Society started originally in Toodyay as the Toodyay Society in 1980 in conjunction with the Toodyay Tourist Centre. The first AGM was held at the CWA hall on Stirling Terrace in April 1981.

The society had annual "Craft in Action" days, "Newcastle Balls", and the preservation of Donegans Cottage.[1] In 1992 the Society became affiliated with the Royal Western Australian Historical Society.[2]

In 1994 the Toodyay Society became the Toodyay Historical Society[2] and Rica Erickson became patron.[note 1]

As well as its own newsletter Duidgeeana,[4] the society has also published a chronology of Toodyay, entitled The long Toodyay chronology: events in Toodyay's history[5][6][7] and a commemorative booklet on its own history.[2]
