The Walcha Historical Society is a not-for-profit organisation formed following a public meeting in 1962. The society is run by volunteers whose aim is to preserve the history of not only Walcha itself, but also the surrounding districts.
The society maintains the History Centre in a room behind the Walcha Library, per kind favour of the Walcha Council.
The management of the Walcha Museum and Pioneer Cottage is vested in the committee of the society, which is elected by the members at the Annual General Meeting.
