Camden’s wealth of history will be on display for the community to enjoy as we celebrate History Week 2022 starting this Friday.

The annual event will see Camden Libraries host an online photographic exhibition titled “Hands-on History – Building Camden’s Town” through to Sunday 11 September.

Camden Library will also have a photographic display in place and a themed children’s Storytime program to take place on Monday 6 September.

Mayor of Camden, Cr Therese Fedeli, said History Week celebrations gave residents the chance to learn more about the area they live in.

“We are lucky enough to be living in an area with a great historical significance and it is important we respect and celebrate it,” Cr Fedeli said.

“History week is a great opportunity to look back on how Camden came about and what is in our backyard.

“I encourage the community to check out the online photo exhibition and the rest of our History Week celebrations.”
