Sunshine Coast Museum and Heritage Achievement Awards 2024

The recipients of this award were announced at the recent visit to Kenilworth Museum arranged by Sunshine Coast Council Heritage.
The winners were:

            • Janet Baker – Buderim Historical Society
            • Lenore Meldrum – Kenilworth Museum.

Congratulations to both recipients.

In 2023, the work undertaken by Janet with the photographic collection was recognised when she was formally appointed to the role
of Photographic Collection Curator. In undertaking her volunteer contribution to BHS, she has demonstrated expertise in project management,
compiling documents such as written reports and presentations, including Guidelines for the Preservation and Management of the
BHS Photographic Collection. Her support and commitment to BHS management, support for our volunteers, and the assistance given to
community organisations by providing high quality photographic resources and historical information for celebratory programs is exemplary.

Well done!

Welcome

The Buderim Historical Society is housed at the Pioneer Cottage (built 1882), in Pioneer Crescent (formerly Ballinger Crescent) Buderim and only a 5 minute walk from the Information Centre at the Old Post Office Buderim.

The Society collects and protects the history of Buderim to share with all ages.

Interesting and informative History Talks are conducted on the first Saturday of every third month starting in March.

The Pioneer Cottage provides an excellent venue, as the Buderim History Museum for school groups that are studying local history as part of their curriculum.

We still need more Visitor Guide volunteers to enable Pioneer Cottage to stay open to the public for six days a week.  Please contact BHS if you are able to assist.

Hours: 11:00am-3:00pm Monday – Saturday (closed Sundays and Public Holidays)
