The Ithacan Historical Society was formally incorporated in 1993. Many of our senior members were getting on in years and concern, of losing our historical data with the passage of time, was the catalyst to forming the historical group.

Associated with the Ithacan Philanthropic Society, the aims of the Society are to collect, collate and preserve information, articles of interest, relics, memorabilia and photos of an Ithacan historical nature particularly as it applies to Ithacans who migrated to Australia and their families.

The Ithacan Historical Society is managed by a small but very enthusiastic committee who put in a lot of voluntary time to gather together the threads of the Antipodean Ithacan history in a manner which will make it easier for later generations to research the chronicles of their forebears.
