The RGHF District History Collection www.districthistory.org (Is your district here?)

We are collecting all the histories of the districts of Rotary.  If your district is not listed below, send your district's history today by contacting us. It is our hope that this will allow greater communication between Rotarians and that knowledge of the entire history of Rotary which will foster greater cooperation among Rotarians, their clubs, and their nations. This part of our project began on 20 March 2003, with Texas district 5810, under the direction of then RGHF Exec. VP Doug Rudman

As of 15 January 2013 we have 314 of the world's 531* district histories posted.  English language unless otherwise noted.

All club and district histories can be posted, free, through RGHF, at www.historylibrary.org

The webmaster is Greg Barlow, Malaysia

Our district history section is divided into groups, as we continue to seek the history of every district which could include every club in the world.

Groups of Districts | Genealogy | History of Districts/Governors | History of the International Assembly | History of Rotary Zones | History of PETS | Suggested district format | Essay on Districts | RIBI and RI |

SUGGESTED FORMAT for compiling a history of your Club (part of your district's history)
NOTICE: Some of these districts contain incomplete information and we urge our RGHF members to provide more complete details. RGHF members, in good standing may submit histories and will have addresses to do so. Members who provide a missing history will receive an additional year's credit on the dues.

*The number of Rotary districts is not static. In 2005-06, there were 529; in 2006-07, 530; in 2007-08, 532. Every year, the districting committee meets at the International Assembly and reviews proposals to consolidate smaller districts or partition larger districts. The districting committee monitors carefully those districts that fall below the required 1,000 Rotarians and 30 clubs. The committee may recommend consolidation or other action as necessary.
