In 2007, the Toodyay Historical Society was commissioned by the Shire of Toodyay to undertake research into the names and service dates for the period 1871-1984 for a set of proposed local government honour boards. This research was undertaken by THS Researcher Beth Frayne. The honour boards were created and hung by the Shire in 2009 in the Shire Chambers, Fiennes Street, Toodyay.
The three Honour Board Name List files cover:
Toodyay Road Board Members and Secretaries (1871-1961) (posted in 2021)
Newcastle / Toodyay Municipal Councillors, Chairmen, Mayors and Town Clerks (1877-1912) (posted in 2021)
Toodyay Shire Councillors, Presidents, Shire Clerks and CEOs (1961 onwards) (coming in 2023)
Each Honour Board Name List contains full names and life dates, service role (ie elected members and chief local government officers), and years of service, presented in a format replicating the existing Shire Honour Boards in the Shire Chambers, Fiennes Street, Toodyay, but with some later corrections and additions.
For example:
| MEMBER | TERM | CHAIRMAN | TERM | SECRETARY | TERM |
| Connor, Daniel (1831-1898) | 1871-1898 | Growse, Arthur Edwards (1831-1877) | 1871 | Wroth, John Acton (1830-1876) | 1871-1876 |

Please note: The Main List files contain more detailed information for the three local government bodies, in alphabetical listings. One file contains full names and life dates, service type and dates, and also the full names and dates of elected Auditors. The second file contains a detailed chronological election table, with information sources. These Main List files are accessible to Investigator and Query Subscribers.
