Your Greatest Challenge: An Exhibition to Mark the 60th Anniversary of the Second World War
16th Aug 1999 - 16th Sep 1999 at Baillieu Library, The University of Melbourne
The records of so many organisations and individuals held in the Archives span the 1930s and 1940s. As we know, no family, business or organisation was left unaffected by the turmoil of those years. This exhibition seeks to provide a glimpse of the resources in the UMA collections for historians of this momentous period.
