Welcome to the Tawa Historical Society Web Pages
Introduction
Tawa Historical Society was established in 2001 from an initiative of the Rotary Club of Tawa. The Society has membership of approximately 50 people interested in the heritage of the community of Tawa.
We aim to accurately identify and to educate the Community about aspects of historical significance in the Tawa area and where appropriate to also advocate for their conservation.
Our activities include research, field work, publication, advocacy, and submission on heritage matters to the Wellington City Council.
Meetings
Executive Committee Meetings are normally held at 7.30 pm on a Monday about 6 weekly intervals at the Tawa Community Centre, Cambridge Street. Click here for the full schedule.
The AGM is scheduled for 1st September 2008. Usually two special public meetings are scheduled each year. These will be advertised to members and on this site when details are available.
