Purpose
The aim of the Society is to stimulate interest in and study of the history of the Church and its antecedent churches: Congregational, Methodist and Presbyterian.
Activities
The Society’s principal activity is the publication of a biannual journal with material of historical interest and contributes to the accumulated knowledge of the Church. Contributions are from members, and others interested, in church history.
Second to this is a series of lectures or presentations on topics related to church history. Generally held four times a year, these include a tour of churches in a suburb or regional centre. Most presentations are accessible by Zoom.
There are also occasional newsletters and other publications when warranted.
The Society supports the Synod Archive with its remarkable and valuable collection of historical and contemporary material, including artefacts, relating to the Church and its antecedents. Volunteers assist public inquiries and genealogical research.
The Victorian and Tasmanian Society is affiliated with the Uniting Church National History Society and supports its activities.
