Research Enquiries

The Queenscliffe Historical Museum welcomes research enquiries and anyone interested in helping with research information.

Our team (currently 14) is a very active, dedicated, and heterogeneous group who are there to help you with your questions. Most researchers live locally, while others travel from Geelong and beyond. All love the history of this important area in Australia which covers the town of Queenscliff, the seaside village of Point Lonsdale and the wider Bellarine area. All have a passion to share this unique information. Nothing is too difficult for our experienced researchers who delight in seeking answers for you. Our team will happily respond to your requests via the online Research Enquiry Form or phone call. A personal visit would be even better so that you can view the exciting new exhibition, combining it with a visit to the purpose-built Research Centre. Publications produced by the research team and others are available for sale. The QHM library located in the Research Centre has some interesting books as well.

Diana Sawyer, Team Leader of Research and Publications at the Queenscliffe Historical Museum.

Please note the researcher will always contact you to see if you want to proceed and whether you have a cost limit.
