Unless otherwise noted, 2014 members' meetings are held in the Convocation Council Room, Old Irwin Street Building, UWA Crawley Campus.
Join us for informal occasions.
Members and friends are invited to join the UWA Historical Society at an informal get-togethers to explore UWA’s history. Guest speakers provide a short presentation on a topic covering an aspect of the University's history. The presentation is followed by questions, discussion and light refreshments. We always welcome suggestions about aspects of UWA history we could explore together.
