Heritage North Association

The last quarterly meeting of the Heritage North Association saw twelve historians in attendance representing five member groups.  That old quandary of affordable insurance for local historical societies was again the main issue brought up at this gathering.  The Mulgrave group has been investigating the Museums Australia's offer of volunteer insurance for their member groups which would be cheaper that the existing group system.  It was resolved to investigate the parameters of the Museums Australia insurance to see if it would be suitable for Heritage North members as a group.  It was also confirmed that the next meeting would involve a workshop to discuss hosting objects from each others collections and the exhibition or sharing of individual objects.  The next meeting will be held at the museum in Gordonvale.
