Southern Highlands & Illawarra Chapter

Southern Highlands & Illawarra Chapter

The Southern Highlands and Illawarra Chapter is open to museums and galleries in the region that are current members of Museums Australia. Currently members are drawn from museums, historical societies, and galleries in the Southern Highlands of NSW, the Illawarra Region (Wollongong & Port Kembla), Camden, Liverpool, Ulladulla, Wollondilly, Nowra, Berry, Gerringong, Kiama and Huskisson.

There is an annual membership fee to cover administrative costs and a small charge for attendance is generally made at each meeting to cover catering costs.

Meetings

Meetings are normally held three times a year: February, June and October. The meetings provide an opportunity for members to exchange information about current activities, discuss museum issues, participate in workshops and be given current information about grants.

A guest speaker is usually invited to attend each meeting and present a paper on a topic of current interest or on the theme adopted by the Chapter for the year.

Visitors from other museums are always welcome, though the Chapter Co-ordinator should be advised, at least seven days prior to the meeting, of the names of those proposing to attend and their affiliation. Tamara can be contacted at the Tongarra Museum by
