​Preservation of Sydney's trams by our pioneering volunteers dates from 1950, followed by the formal establishment of the Australian Electric Transport Museum in 1955, incorporated in 1959 as South Pacific Electric Railway Co-operative Society Ltd.  Subsequently the business name Sydney Tramway Museum was formulated.  
The museum's aims always were to preserve tramcars and associated ephemera, record through publications and display Sydney's tramway history and the part played in the growth of urban transport in Sydney and its social history for the benefit of the general public.  An important part as a living museum has always been the operation of some tramcars recreating past forms of transport and as an education tool for the younger generations. 
At present (2023), the Museum (wholly volunteer), located at corner of Pitt St. and Rawson Ave. (Old Princes Hwy.), Loftus, adjacent to Loftus Railway Station, is open Sundays and Wednesdays, with tram-rides operating.
