On the eve, this coming week, of the release of Recollections issue 50, South Coast History Society is pleased to announce that its fabulous new website https://www.southcoasthistory.org.au/ now welcomes you to visit it.

The aim of this website (which, as you will discover, is still very much a ‘work in progress’!) is to ultimately hold the most extensive, the most accessible compilation of NSW South Coast histories. These will be available 24/7, at no cost, to everyone and anyone who is interested in the area’s fascinating history.

Downloadable copies of all 49 past issues of Recollections (containing hundreds of interesting NSW South Coast stories) have been the first thing we’ve put up on the website. You’ll also find details about the 101 objects in the Bega Shire’s Hidden Heritage project have been included, as are profiles of some of the South Coast’s historically most significant women.

In coming months comprehensive sections will be added about South Coast pioneers, South Coast shipwrecks, South Coast towns and their histories, the South Coast’s interesting historic buildings…and a lot, lot more.

The development of this new website is the latest initiative from the exceptionally active, innovative South Coast History Society - an entirely volunteer-based, community based, community-focused organisation that, quite simply, is committed to promoting and sharing the area’s - your area’s - colourful history.

We hope you’ll enjoy regularly visiting this fabulous new website...and we encourage you to let your friends know it is now ‘open for business’.
