Ringwood and District Historical Society
Celebrating Local Cultural Vibrancy
The Ringwood and District Historical Society exists to collect, preserve and promote material relating to the history of Ringwood. The Society maintains extensive community archives including newspapers, journals, books, personal histories, maps, plans and photographs. President Russ Haines OAM compiled these photographs “to depict the strength, compassion and joy of the people in the district of Ringwood – past and present.” The work demonstrates how community spirit has the potential to translate into optimism and hope for the future and affirms the way “Australia is built on the strength of its communities, and communities on the strength and vibrancy of its people.”
