The Museum of Perth chronicles the social, cultural, political and architectural history of Perth.
Volunteering
The Perth History Association Inc. (Museum of Perth) coordinates a wide range of activities in partnership with cultural institutions around Australia.
Our project participants have transcribed more than ten million lines of text for the National Library of Australia’s Trove, contributing to better results, making research more effective and easier for everyone.
We have already transcribed several personal WWI diaries, early Western Australian explorer journals, precious family letters and documents, and myriad genealogical records.
