Who Are We?

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.
