DTHS was formed in 1967 after the proclamation of Shire of Doncaster and Templestowe as the City of Koonarra. It gained further impetus in 1971 from the need to preserve Schramm's Cottage when Doncaster Road was widened and the Council Offices erected.
DTHS aims to foster historical interest and knowledge about the history of Doncaster & Templestowe from the early 1800's through the following actions:
- acquire, preserve and display objects
- conduct and publish historical research in relation to buildings, objects, lifestyles
- advise, urge and assist in preserving historic landscapes, plants, buildings, landmarks and objects
Since formation it has completed many major projects such as:
- Moving and rebuilding Schramm's Stone Cottage from Doncaster Road to its current location at Muriel Green Drive in 1971-1976
- Accredited as an Australian Museum by the Museums Accreditation Program since 2013
