The City of Stirling’s Art and Community History Collections have a new home!
Over the past year a new and upgraded online database that houses both the Art and Community History Collections has been developed. This new collection management system and website will allow anyone to access elements of these Collections at the click of a button.
The Stirling History Collection will be building on Recollect over the next few months with around 1000 items to browse through and more coming online every day. We invite you to browse through the photographs, objects, people, events and places that tell the stories of the past in the City of Stirling.
This collection represents the City of Stirling’s rich and diverse history. It includes the Mount Flora Regional Museum, community history, and council memorabilia collections. These collections feature:
- Artefacts
- Costumes
- Books and documents
- Photographs
- Magazines and newsletters
- Stories about people and places
- Video and oral histories.
Tell us your historical story
Many fascinating details about how people lived in previous decades have never been written down and could be lost forever. The oral history process captures the voices, memories, and unique perspectives of individuals, providing a window into the past.
If you have an interesting story to tell, a cherished memory, a family tradition, or a slice of local history, we invite you to share it with us. By contributing to the Stirling Stories collection, you become part of an archive that preserves the voices and experiences of our community.
We actively seek and collect written information about former and current City of Stirling residents, including:
- Where they came from
- What they did for a living
- How they developed their lives in Western Australia.
