Mystifying Melbourne Program Image

Carlton is absolutely rich in colourful history with many characters - it’s a hotbed for so many flavorful tales and important milestones in Melbourne's past.

As part of the preserving and honouring of Carlton and its surrounding - North Carlton and Princes Hill past we have the Carlton Community History Group. Founded in 2007 and launched in 2008 they’ve been exploring the abundance of Carlton’s history ever since.

Their aim: Preserve the past and present for the future.

Consolidate the records of the many other people and groups who have worked on our local history in the past.

Identify significant gaps in the records which cover growing up, living and working in the area and information about changes to the mix of social & ethnic groups as well as changes to shops, schools, businesses and houses.
