The York Society

Come and meet our team of enthusiastic volunteers who can help you with your research and family history questions.

Like us on Facebook, it's a great platform where we share events, interesting snippets that we are working on and where you can ask other members for help with your research questions, York Families and Footprints.
​
We are currently open on Tuesdays between 10am and 3pm or by appointment. Weekend appointments are available with reasonable advance notification.

In October or November of each year the Society holds the annual Art and Craft Awards which originated with the Craft Awards in the York Fair in 1973. When the Fair ceased in 1984, the Craft Awards continued and in 1989 Art was included. The Awards hold an important place in the Western Australian Art & Craft scene and now attract around 300 entries each year from some 150 artists and crafts persons.

We are proud to host the annual York Photographic Awards in 2022. Held over the Easter long weekend, this popular event is growing and with new sponsorship we have introduced a new category, the 12 and under, with the prize of a new digital camera.
