We are calling for expressions of interest from community members who would like to contribute to the future direction of the Kim barne thaliyu / Geelong Heritage Centre collection.

The Kim barne thaliyu / Geelong Heritage Centre Collection Advisory Committee meet four times a year to provide collection-related advice. The committee is comprised of Councillors, representatives from the City of Greater Geelong, Public Record Office Victoria, Geelong Historical Society, National Council of Women (Geelong branch) and up to four community representatives.
