Project coordinator, Cas Mayfield, said there was a great wealth of written works, images, and knowledge of the heritage of the area, but neither locals nor visitors had easy access to it.
"We want to bring all that information to the people in the form of a pop-up museum with engaging displays, audio-visual presentations, and representations of great collections like the photos of William Corkhill."
A Chamber of Commerce spokesperson said the exhibition was designed to be portable.
"We want is used as a resource in schools, libraries, and any place that wants to exhibit historical records in a manner that allows the visitor to walk through the information to get a feel of how living was in the area from the late 1800s to today," they said.
The Tilba branch of the CWA, the Tilba Cemetery Committee, and the Tilba Public School will also be participating to bring their stories into the exhibition. Ms Mayfield also hopes to engage with the Yuin community and veterans groups.
Voting is open until Thursday, August 15, and can be done online at www.mycommunityproject.service.nsw.gov.au or at any Service NSW office.
