Membership


The C J La Trobe Society Inc. was established in 2001 to promote recognition and understanding of the achievements of Charles Joseph La Trobe, Superintendent of the Port Phillip District of New South Wales from 1839, and first Lieutenant Governor of the new colony of Victoria after separation in 1851.

The Society celebrates La Trobe’s birthday annually, hosts lectures, special functions and other events throughout the year, and distributes the Journal, La Trobeana, to members three times per year.

Aims of the Society include the erection of a bronze statue of La Trobe and facilitation of a Fellowship in his name for the study of the colonial period of Victoria’s history.

Membership subscriptions are due at the Annual General Meeting in August each year.
