2023 CITY OF KALAMUNDA LOCAL HISTORY AWARDS

In 2023 the Kalamunda Library held the inaugural Local History Award, an award to encourage community involvement in recording and promoting the rich history of the City of Kalamunda for future generations.

Participants were invited to submit written and photographic entries on subjects such as people or groups, places, or events in any of the suburbs within the City of Kalamunda.

The awards were judged by representatives from the Kalamunda and Districts Historical Society, President Jenny Lewis and archivist Marcia Maher, and winners were selected based on their historical significance, and the quality of photographs or writing.
