To present varied and rich perspectives on history, we have a diverse and dedicated team. Some work for us as staff; many more as volunteers, supporters and partners. Without their time, effort and energy, we simply could not do the work we do.

This dynamic mix of people, passion and ideas is held together with common purpose and direction through the guidance of our Board and Executive team.

Our Board

Our Board members are responsible for setting the general policies and strategic direction of Museums of History NSW. Appointed by the Governor of New South Wales on the recommendation of the NSW Minister for the Arts, they bring a diverse range of expertise and experience in history, the archival profession, heritage, First Nations cultures and more. The Board is an advisory body and members are not remunerated for their Board activities.

Board members can be appointed for a term of up to three years and can serve a maximum of three consecutive terms.

Executive team

The Executive team brings a wealth of experience, insight and energy to providing strategic and operational leadership, guiding our staff of over 350 and the daily work that goes on across our six core divisions and additional special projects.
