It's been a busy few weeks and we've got news from:
A 19th century lottery bill
Neighbourhood Postcards
Our visit to Nhill
And more from ...
Our archive: The lottery ticket reminded us of another piece of forensics work we did a couple of years ago
Our research: So much doesn't get to see the light of day if it's not front and centre in our delivered projects, so occasionally we'll share some of the more interesting stuff with you through this newsletter
And beyond ...
Wishing you respair and fellowfeeling (see the 'and beyond')
Emma and Susan
WHO'S THE WINNER PLEASE?
An exercise in Sleuthing
Susan's been sleuthing away over a 19th century lottery bill and wrote that story up for your interest and possible assistance in filling the gaps
NHILL
Where 'the gold was wheat' and 'firsts' abound
We had great fun working in Nhill recently with the Nhill & District Historical Society's collection - what are Nhill's curious and prosaic qualities? How well are they reflected in this local history collection? Here is the history we wrote with some images of the curious and the prosaic to be found in Nhill. I hope you love my photo of Nhill's sunset as much as I do.
OUR ARCHIVE - while researching the lottery ticket we were reminded of similar forensics work we did a couple of years ago with the diaries of an early 20th century botanist collector pictured below.
OUR RESEARCH - this edition of the UNESCO Courier offered insights into the migration experience for our Flemington Kensington Community Legal Centre research, but also has a photographic retrospective of the restoration of some of the world's most important sites of cultural heritage, photographed by Dominique Roger, the head of UNESCO's photo service between 1976 and 1992.
AND BEYOND - for the wordsmiths amongst you here is an article from the Guardian about a new book on etymology and lost words.
