To celebrate International Women's Day 2020 and Women's History Month, come and learn about Fitzroy's former Women's Mural from 1986. Who were the women featured, and how has technology helped preserve and celebrate this chapter of urban history for new audiences?

Public Record Office Victoria is hosting a panel discussion on how key organisations (including museums and archives) are working together in Melbourne to capture and preserve Victorian women's history, and to consider how other projects could be realised.

The panel features Danielle Hakim and Sally Northfield from The Women's Mural Documentation Project, Penelope Lee from Her Place Women’s Museum, Australia and Dr Nikki Henningham from the Australian Women's Archives Project.

This is a free event. Please click HERE to reserve your seat via the Eventbrite ticketing service.

Summary

The HCV was formed as an advisory body in 2001 and incorporated in 2003. It comprises representatives from cultural and educational institutions and heritage bodies; history teachers and curriculum advisors; academic and professional historians; and local, Indigenous, community and specialist history organisations.

As the peak body for history, the HCV has both ‘outward-looking’ roles (including advocacy and representation to government and the wider community, consultation, community education, and networking with allied interest groups) and ‘inward-looking’ roles (including member support, information dissemination, and networking between members).
