Other information

The St Kilda Historical Society started in 1970 and celebrated its 50th year in 2020.

The SKHS has collected a great deal of information and objects both large and small. We are committed to making this information accessible and interesting to those who live here or want to know more about the St Kilda area.

From its earliest days the St Kilda area was a meeting point for people. During the period of European settlement St Kilda epitomized the boom and bust cycles of Victoria generally.

The SKHS Collection includes images, manuscripts, oral histories, books, maps & drawings and ephemera.

The City of Port Phillip also maintains a comprehensive historical record of buildings and development in the City especially through its heritage overlays and building citations.
