Funds help history in the making
Digitisation of newspapers and photographs, memorial websites, oral histories and archiving are just a few examples of projects eligible for funding under the Victorian Community History Awards and Local History Grants Program.
Applications will open later this year.
Minister for Government Services Gabrielle Williams announced in June the projects that will share in $350,000 as part of the 2023-24 round of the local history grants.
Three local recipients were named: Kaniva and District Progress and Action Association was awarded $14,882 for its Percy Leason Wiregrass project; the Nhill Silo Heritage Project was granted $3,334 for documenting and conserving the Nhill Noske Silo; and West Wimmera Shire Council received $1700 for "A history of Serviceton Railway Station" with Les Millikin.
The program supports community and history organisations to preserve, record and share Victoria’s local history.
