During History Month 2024, we are celebrating 50 years of the Victorian Heritage Register.
In 1974, after years of campaigning by heritage and conservation activists, the Victorian Historic Buildings Register was formalised by the state government. This is known today as the Victorian Heritage Register. In celebration of this golden anniversary, the Heritage Council of Victoria and the Royal Historical Society of Victoria have partnered to collaboratively support History Month.
The Victorian Heritage Register provides legal protection for a variety of heritage important to Victorians. Heritage can be buildings, objects, collections, archaeological remains, gardens, shipwrecks and more.
Keep an eye out for the 50th Anniversary Badge in the History Month events calendar! This special badge highlights events and talks at, or about, some of the most iconic sites listed in the Victorian Heritage Register.
