'Outrageous': Yass Historical Society forced to move archives with 19 days' notice

Boxes of historical records in the strong room of the Yass Historical Society's archives which will need to be moved and rehomed. Picture supplied

The Yass and District Historical Society says it is being forced to move hundreds of boxes of old artefacts and records after Yass Valley Council gave the group 19 days to leave its premises.

The historical society, which has housed its 200-year-old archival documents at the Yass Soldiers' Memorial Hall for 40 years, was issued a letter from the council on January 30 evicting it from the hall so repairs to the roof could begin on February 20.
