The Coburg Historical Society is a voluntary association dedicated to preserving the history of Coburg, Victoria, Australia. We welcome like-minded individuals to join us as members. The society was founded in 1972 on the initiative of the former Coburg City Council. The society has continued to protect, promote, and preserve the history of Coburg, including more recent history since the City of Coburg amalgamation into the City of Moreland in 1994, now the City of Merri-bek.
In essence, the aims and objectives of the society are to promote and encourage the study of history pertaining to Coburg, to promote the compilation and collection of records relating to Coburg, and to collect and preserve items of historical interest and make them accessible.
