Narromine’s Norma is now a hidden treasure in NSW Logo Selection Guide
By SOPHIA MCCAUGHAN
Local historian, Norma Meadley, has been named on the NSW Hidden Treasures Honour Roll 2024, for her decade’s-long work in the community researching the rich heritage of Narromine Shire. The Hidden Treasures Honour Roll is a recognition program that acknowledges the important volunteer work that women and girls provide within NSW regional, rural and remote communities. More than 1300 women have been named on the Honour Roll since 2010 for their valuable contributions to their communities across the state. Narromine Library’s Gabrielle TealeMcEvoy nominated Norma for her volunteer work as head of the Narromine Local History Group. This has included 25 years working for the local community with her dedication often unrecognised. Following her commendation, she explained to the Narromine Star how she first got involved with recording local history. “At the end of 1998 we started, and there was two of us, myself and the late Joyce Payne,” Norma recalled.

“We started up with 10 little boxes of records that were given to us by Phil King’s son, who wrote the history of Narromine... and from there, it has just grown and it continues to grow,” she added. Her passion for preserving the rich tapestry of Narromine and surrounding district’s heritage and history is evident as she works three full days a week inside the local history room at Narromine Library, tirelessly dedicating a big chunk of her free time to the role. Her commitment extends to assisting individuals from near-and-far with family history questions, personal interest projects, and research for articles and books. Norma explained that she loves helping people who come into the Library wanting to trace their family history. “We have people looking for family descendants, in particular, deceased people, and I help them with their family trees,” she said.
