Investigating the Past
From time to time, Blayney Shire Local & Family History Group carries out in depth research either due to a request, or to further understand the stories that make up the Blayney Shire's collective history.
The group has contributed to studies organised by the Sustainable Collections project of Blayney, Cabonne & Orange councils, notably on the Wiradjuri aboriginal history of Blayney shire and also the stories of Chinese immigration into Blayney and surrounding villages. It also has other projects of its own instigation, such as the restoration of the Boer War Memorial in Blayney. A study of the Blayney lime kilns was completed after a request from the Blayney Tourist Information centre.
