      History

      The Ballarat Typographical Society was formed in 1857. On 10 December 1867, the society merged with the Melbourne and Geelong typographical societies into the Victorian Typographical Union and operated as a district of this union until the separation of the districts on 30 September 1871. The Ballarat Typographical Society eventually merged with the Victorian Typographical Society and the Australian Bookbinders & Paper Rulers' Association to become the Ballarat Sub-Branch of the Printing Industry Employees' Union of Australia in 1921.
