The Burnside Historical Society published quarterly newsletters from 1980 to 2020. The newsletters contain Society news and notices, summaries of meetings and articles of historical interest, usually with a Burnside focus. The first Volume was in December 1980 and there were 5 issues – December 1980, March 1981, June 1981, September 1981 and December 1981. Copies of these are available on this website. They can also be viewed in the Local History room at the City of Burnside Library.
From October 2019 a Bulletin has been produced instead of the newsletter. The early issues were irregular however they have become bi-monthly.
From 2021 the Society began producing an annual larger publication, a Journal highlighting the Society’s activities and meetings for the year. This includes articles of historical interest, usually with a Burnside focus.
