NEW WEBSITE COMING SOON
We are a not-for-profit historical society, established in 1998, dedicated to preserving and sharing the history of the Chermside & Districts area. We do this by researching and recording the stories of the people who have lived here, the events that took place, where and when they occurred, how they unfolded, and most importantly, why.
Our volunteers are available at the Chermside Historical Precinct (61 Kittyhawk Drive, Chermside) on the first Saturday of each month (except January), from 2–4pm, to answer questions and chat about our local history. Please book in for a dedicated 20-minute with one of our volunteers, here or send us an email chermsidedhs@gmail.com.
If you would like to join our society, email chermsidedhs@gmail.com for more information or sign up via the form below.
Our members enjoy monthly meetings on the first Sunday of every month, 2-4pm (except January). Our meetings include guest speakers, afternoon tea, and a chance to meet others who live in the local area and learn more about our local history.
There is also a bi-monthly member newsletter with interesting historical facts about our area, quizzes, and the latest update from the CDHS management committee.
Single person: $20/year

Our volunteers provide the community with information on our local history, help with researching local families’ history, as well as further research conducted from Local, State and Federal Government archives.
Our society also acts as a repository for local organisations by accepting their archives and storing them in our archive room where they are available for the community to research. To view our archives, please book in to visit us on the first Saturday of the month from 2-4pm (except January) here.
Monthly member meetings are held on the first Sunday of the month (except January) at 2-4pm.
Our committee meetings are held on the third Thursday of every month.
