The Mark Graham Memorial Photo and History Room which is housed in the old principal’s residence at Levendale Primary School, was officially opened by Norma Graham on behalf of the deceased Principal of 25 years Mark Graham on the 6th December 1993.

The history room underwent some restoration in 2003 to make sure the room was as close as possible to museum standards.

Installed in the room was a new ceiling and air vent, new carpet, walls painted a parchment colour, oil filled heater with a timer and thermostat and a hygrometer to record the temperature and humidity. Paper and photographs need to be kept at a constant temperature between 18 – 22 degrees and the humidity between 47 and 52 %.

A history group was formed in  March 2004, incorporated and  named the Levendale and Woodsdale History Rooms Inc.

In April 2004 the local historical group applied for a Small Museums and Collections grant through Arts Tasmania to help pay the cost of collating all historical information in the Levendale and Woodsdale areas and its placement on the State Library’s eHeritage web site. 

This was assisted through Arts Tasmania by the Minister for the Arts.
