Strinda Historical Society was founded in 1996. We have approximately 660 members. Our activities are conducted by a board consisting of 5 members. We arrange 5-6 meetings every year, presenting different historical topics. Every summer we arrange a daytrip for our members. Our meetings are open to everyone.

Our main task is to collect historical information and local history; we collect old pictures, publications, and stories. The main object is to present this information to members and the local population. A yearbook is published with different historical articles from Strinda district.
