Winter 2019 Dear history friends and colleagues, Welcome to another edition of our newsletter! With the depths of winter still ahead, we bring you stories from warmer places and the latest in our work. In our last newsletter, we shared with you our thoughts on communities - what it means to be part of one, and how they evolve over time. We continue this discussion with some thoughts on the role that communities have in shaping cultural collections and the built heritage around us. If you're still reeling from last month's federal election and have politics on the brain, you may be interested in our work with Boroondara's mayoral portraits. In this piece, we share some fascinating - and occasionally scandalous! - insights into the professional and private lives of the city's past leaders. Lastly, we have yet another traveller's tale; this one comes from the cobbled footpaths of Lisbon. Happy reading! Emma, Susan and Carissa What do you call a group of mayors? Do you have what it takes to be local government's top dog? Find out more about the sorts of men and women who have led Boroondara through war and peace, and who they were beyond council chambers. The intersection between collections and communities We've been spending a bit of time at the Melbourne Showgrounds, working with a collection that is close to the hearts of Victorians. Here, we share our thoughts on how communities shape collections. Interpreting the everyday While Melbourne braved the onset of winter, one of our team voyaged to sunny Portgual and witnessed some evocative tributes to everyday people. © 2019 History At Work Pty Ltd.
