The Central NSW Museums website and brochure have been produced as part of a joint initiative of Orange,Cabonne and Blayney Councils, with funding support from Arts NSW. The website and brochure provide an opportunity for visitors to the region, school children and residents of the area to explore the region's rural lifestyles, local landscapes, mining history, stories of bygone years and many cafes and cellar doors.

The website and museum brochure aim to strengthen networks between museums and raise awarness of the importance of sustainability with collections into the future. The website showcases museums, villages and heritage places in the Orange, Blayney and Cabonne Shire areas. The website also hosts each Society or Museum’s latest newsletter, event and significant objects and provides links to facebook and twitter.
