Kilmore Historical Society has just received a grant of $1500 via the Australian Government Volunteer Grants scheme, administered by local Members of Parliament.

This grant will enable us to produce a professionally printed brochure outlining our activities and membership opportunities. We had considered issuing a brochure earlier this year, but the cost of producing one of the standard we were hoping for was outside our budget.

Some of the money may also go to the purchase of archival storage boxes. The move to our new premises has triggered a huge re-arrangement of our collection, and we are very aware of the need for more archival storage to preserve or items.
