Administrative history
The Kimberley Women’s Institute was organized in the summer of 1900 at a joint meeting with the Farmer’s Institute, with over 13 members present at the first meeting. It was the fourth branch of the Women’s Institute to be established in the world. Early on the branch accepted men as members, and were very active in helping to establish branches in nearby communities. Speakers from the Department of Agriculture were common, and would speak on issues of both housekeeping and agriculture. The Kimberley Women’s Institute was very active in building and maintaining the Community Memorial Hall in 1920, in memory of those who gave their lives in the First World War. Cookery was also of major interest, and the Kimberly Women’s Institute Cook Book was popular for many years. The Kimberley Women’s Institute disbanded in 2001.
