CONSERVING OUR HISTORY

We’ve been digitising a significant portion of our photographic collection, thanks to a grant from the State Government of Victoria and the Public Record Office of Victoria’s Local History Grant Program.

These photos are a valuable visual record of our history, from the 1960s to the 2000s, documenting the many activities we’ve conducted over the years, as well as the many people who’ve supported and worked with us. Our archivist, Christiane Hennequin, completed Part 1 of the project in 2022, which was to digitise 800 photos from the collection. We’re now working to make the collection available online.
