Welcome
WAHTS is the WA sub-branch of the Melbourne based Australian Historic Telephone Society (AHTS).
We are a small but enthusiastic group of collectors of antique and vintage telephones and related memorabilia. We meet every second month in a private home in the Perth area. Annual membership fees are very low - about the cost of morning tea!
Our members' interests include preserving local telecommunications history, collecting antique, vintage and retro telephones, restoring degraded telephones and also buying and selling collectable phones. if you are interested in our club, please introduce yourself through the Contact link.
Meeting Dates
Usually 3rd Saturday of alternate months (but may be varied to suit members). February, April, Jun, Aug, Oct and Nov (AGM and Xmas lunch). Contact to confirm.
STAA
All the Australian telephone collector clubs, and their subsidiaries (including this club, the WAHTS), are members of the national body, STAA. There is a lot of information on the STAA site and it is well worth a visit. If you are outside WA, more information about joining the various interstate groups can be found by simply clicking on this link
