Royal Western Australian Historical Society has for many decades been the main association for Western Australians to collectively work for adequate understanding and protection of the cultural heritage of Perth and Western Australia.

With membership including local historians and writers, it preceded the Western Australian branch of the National Trust and the Western Australian History Council by decades.

Based in Nedlands it holds many important objects and archives relative to Western Australian History.

A significant number of Western Australian historians, writers and public figures have been involved with the society.
