Our collection has great research potential due to its association with places of national, state and local heritage significance around Australia, such as the Castlemaine Diggings Heritage National Park. The research potential of the collection is enhanced by the high level of intactness of the recordkeeping system and its various components, and the ability of the various archival components to inform each other. Our Members are all very proud of what we have achieved in the few years of hard work and dedication. The Maldon Vintage Machinery and Museum has plans to keep growing and moving forward. Ensuring the community of Maldon has a Museum they can be proud of and will remain a place for visitors and families for years to come. We need more help to make this all happen .
