Royal Historical Society of Victoria Bookshop

The bookshop covers every aspect of Victoria's history - everything from gorgeous coffee-table books on Melbourne's heritage to hard-to-find local histories on St Kilda, Echuca, Castlemaine, and other Victorian places, the history of many migrant groups in Victoria, a huge selection on Indigenous history as well as secondhand and antiquarian books.

The bookshop is in a 1938 heritage-listed Drill Hall and features well-preserved art deco detail. The unusual building is worth a visit if you are interested in Melbourne's built heritage.
