UniNews Vol. 15, No. 14 7 - 21 August 2006

Conservation of a collection of historic Victorian concert programs is among University of Melbourne projects funded recently by grants from the Vice-Chancellor’s Office to help improve scholarly access to the University’s Cultural Collections, ensure their long-term preservation and enable their wider public display.

The concert programs are held in the Louise Hanson-Dyer Music Library’s Rare Collections along with thousands of other valuable items, including manuscripts, printed scores, books and related materials.
