The Regional Network
The RHSV is at the centre of a network of regional historical societies. It is a major and continuing function of the Society, through the History Victoria Support Group, to assist the management of member societies by offering them a range of support services, such as advice on establishment, incorporation, insurance and collection management. Through the work of the regional associations, it encourages societies to share their expertise and co-operate with each other and the RHSV in joint activities.
