Maitland Historical Society Charity Profile

The Society traces its roots to the Maitland's Womans Club. After realizing the town's history had never been recorded, the Club decided to make it their community project for 1969, and sponsored a meeting of people interested in forming a historical society. In 1970, this group became a separate organization with the mission of preserving, protecting and promoting Maitland's heritage. Early members spent most of their time collecting historical items from local founding families. The Society stored these in private homes, while holding monthly meetings to discuss its progress, until the opening of Maitland Historical Museum in 1977. Today, the Society has a full time staff of four and a small group of part time docents. It also has a strong Board of Directors, as well as an Honorary Board to assist in widening their foundation of support. The Society continues progress in its plans to consolidate and expand its facilities. Since 1970, the Society has been diligent in making sure its facilities, exhibits, programs and collections are guided by the Society's mission to collect, preserve, interpret and exhibit artifacts and records pertaining to the Maitland area.
