The Local History Grants Program encourages and fosters community activities that maintain, record and share the local history of Victoria and Victorians.

"Celebrating our past as we build for the future brings the community together, and these grants can enable really important work to be done," Member for Macedon Mary-Anne Thomas said.
"It's not just for historical societies and museums, these grants are open to schools, sporting clubs and a wide range of community organisations.
"I encourage local groups to go online and consider lodging an application."
The most recent round of grants saw 40 projects across the state funded for a range of projects and publications, making local history more accessible.
Other projects previously funded include websites, oral histories and podcasts, interpretative signage, collection cataloguing and Auslan translations.
Applications for grants close on Monday January 30, 2023
