CONSERVING OUR HISTORY

Musculoskeletal Health Australia: Digitisation Project

Our thanks goes to the State Government of Victoria and the Public Record Office of Victoria through which we’ve received funding through the Local History Grant Program. This funding has allowed us to complete the Digitisation and Cataloguing of Musculoskeletal Australia’s Photographic Collection.

Our archivist, Christiane Hennequin, has begun the arduous process of researching and cataloguing just over 1,000 photographs from our analogue photograph collection – an amazing effort!

The photographs in this collection represent our shared history from our humble beginnings in the late 1960s to the early 2000s when we began to adopt digital photography.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing support of this project, which has been invaluable in the success of our application for further funding.
