DEFINE, RECORD, PROTECT AND PROMOTE MIGRANT HERITAGE IN THE ILLAWARRA
The Migration Heritage Project is a community initiative that advocates to protect, promote and celebrate the diverse heritage of Illawarra’s community.
We do this by collaborating with a wide range of cultural and heritage groups, raising the importance of protecting our heritage with Local and State government and providing resources for groups and individuals to record and celebrate their heritage.
STORIES THAT FORGED A NATION
The Museum of People Country and Industry sharing Illawarra Stories through five pillars. First Nations, Migration Heritage, Industrial Heritage, Social History and Nature.
The Museum of People Country and Industry (MPCI) is an exciting and visionary infrastructure project that, once delivered, will transform our city and the Illawarra. As a major tourism drawcard, it will generate jobs and opportunities in a vast array of industries and showcase the immense value that we have played in building Australia. The MPCI is auspiced by the MHP.

The MHP is a not-for-profit, volunteer organisation registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profit Commission (ACNC).
The MHP does not receive any ongoing funding. Your tax-deductible donation will help to sustain the ongoing research and advocacy undertaken by the group.
The MHP continues to apply for project funding but grants are becoming increasingly competitive and insecure. Any financial support you can provide is greatly appreciated and will help us to continue promoting the heritage of all migrant communities in the Illawarra.
If you wish to support the MHP in other ways, please do not hesitate to contact us:
