Casey Cardinia Remembers

A Survey of monuments and memorials in the City of Casey and Shire of Cardinia

Casey Cardinia Remembers is an ongoing project of the Narre Warren & District Family History Group. Our team survey sites, taking pictures and transcribing monuments and memorials. The information they gather is checked and compiled into posts for each site they visit.
In this context, we have a very broad definition of what constitutes a monument or memorial and are looking at honour boards, foundation stones, plaques, war memorials, parks, reserves and gardens, etc. Essentially, anything that memorialises a person’s name in some way.
The Narre Warren and District Family History Group is a self-funded group run by volunteers with an interest in both their own family history and the family and local history of the Casey Cardinia region. We have approximately 100 members, and operate a Research Room at 110 High Street, Berwick for members and visitors.
Initially funded by a Local History Grant from the Public Record Office Victoria, the website is now funded by the family history group and copied annually by the State Library Victoria for Trove.
