Richmond History Group

The Richmond History Group is based at Avebury House. The group maintains a collection of books, photographs and other memorabilia illustrating and recording the history of Avebury House and the development of the surrounding suburb of Richmond. We seek to expand the collection and have begun a project to digitise items from the collection and make them available online. This is a work-in-progress and we will be adding items to this site from now on.

If you have photographs or other material concerning Richmond’s past, we would love to hear from you. Perhaps you would like to donate items to the collection, or allow us to view the material and if suitable, borrow items for recording and adding to our digital archive. We would of course return the items to you in the same condition as we received them.

If you would like to learn more about the group, or become involved, please contact Andrea at 381-6615.

The Richmond Rambler

Picture
The Richmond Rambler was a monthly publication of the Richmond Working Mens’ Club, published between 1976 and late-1980s. Our collection at Avebury house includes the first two issues from September & October 1976. This was before the Richmond Village shopping centre was built(!?); Robert Muldoon had been Prime Minister for two years (seven more to go) and New Zealand was a very different place compared with today.

Ricky Gilmore, General Manager, RWMC, states that the club kept copies of the Rambler issues, but they were all lost in the damage to the buildings from the Canterbury earthquakes. Does anyone have old copies stashed away? We would love to borrow them for scanning so they can join these first two issues. We would, of course, return the originals to you in the same condition.
