Examining local history via the Victoria Police Gazette
Dr Ian Warren received a small Centre for Contemporary Histories (CCH) research grant in 2023 to undertake a joint research initiative with the Geelong Chapter of University of the Third Age (U3A). Members of U3A globally are retirees picking up study on a voluntary basis, often covering areas they were unable or had no time to pursue during their adult lives. Ian and several other members of CCH have had a long history in sharing their knowledge on a range of topics with the Geelong Chapter.
An overview of the project and some of Ian’s findings can be found here.
