Donate Your Treasures
Esperance Bay Historical Society (EBHS) collects documents of all kinds, photographs and ephemera – items that tells the story of Esperance, and its people. Most of our collections come from people who value EBHS as a trustworthy repository for their historical treasures. By donating a little piece of history, they have helped to make the Esperance story richer and more complete for generations to come.
