The Lane Cove Historical Society
Since 1962, the LAne Cove Historical Society (LCHS) has been researching the history and heritage of life on the North Shore.
Its charter is also to collect and manage artefacts and memorabilia representing life in Lane Cove from the time of the Cameraygals, the Indigenous owners of the region, down through the subsequent two hundred and twenty-odd years.
LCHS also has the curatorship of Carisbrook Historic House and welcomes volunteers who feel they would like to contribute to the community in an interesting way by becoming a Friend of Carisbrook.
The Lane Cove History Prize
As of 2025 the Lane Cove History Prize will become biennial. We hope that all local historians thinking of preparing an entry will continue to do so. You now have until 2025 to undertake the necessary research on your chosen topic. We look forward to welcoming all entries next year.
Details of the 2023 winner can be found at this website ›
You may also find the winning entries from past winners here, including an example of an oral history.
