About MHIG


The Meredith History Interest Group (MHIG) started in 2008.
The Meredith History Interest Group  preserves, records and exhibits the history of Meredith and District .
The MHIG provides the opportunity to locals and visitors  an understanding of the town of Meredith and its people, past and present. 
The MHIG holds records of pioneering families, early industry, businesses, festivals and events and buildings.
The MHIG is committed to preserving local history through the development and preservation of a collection of historical documents, artifacts, manuscripts and memorabilia. 
It is the aim of the MHIG to expand individual and collective knowledge about our unique local heritage, resulting in a greater sense of community and civic pride.
From modest beginnings, the organization has grown to a membership of around 100.
MHIG is run by an active group of volunteers and welcomes members to our working parties.  Volunteer groups contribute to preserving and displaying  the history of Meredith  through answering research requests, hosting exhibits, educational programs and publications.
We maintain a research library of past and current literature on the history of Meredith and District.
The MHIG publishes a regular newsletter which contains articles on topics of local interest, historical and heritage matters, research reports and information about exhibitions and events held.
The MHIG meets on a regular basis for meetings and events at the Old Shire Hall or the Memorial Hall in Meredith.
