We are pleased to announce that the New Farm and Districts Historical Society is the recipient of an Historical Organisation Assistance grant Program for triennial funding from the Brisbane City Council.
As recipients of this grant, we will receive $10,000 each year for three years. The first year’s money is already in the bank so that means the work now begins in earnest.
We will engage a company to do the scanning, but there is much for us to do – data entry, cataloguing, packing and sorting files, reviewing scanned images, reviewing oral history transcripts, policy development and more.
Secretary Tracey gave an overview of the application process and the project that we are about to embark on at the June meeting, and you can see the vimeo below.
More information will be shared very soon, including ways that you can be involved.
Please contact Tracey at secretary@newfarmhistorical.org.au to volunteer.
