Buildings, Books and Blackboards - Intersecting Narratives

摘要

In November/December 2012 the link between education and libraries was realised in a conference which presented a unique opportunity to bring together those interested in the history of the people, places and institutions which have shaped the culture and learning of communities worldwide. Buildings, Books and Blackboards- Intersecting Narratives was a combined conference of the Australian and New Zealand History of Education Society (ANZHES), Mechanics' Institutes World Wide (under the auspices of Mechanics' Institutes Victoria), and the Tenth Library History Forum. Additionally, it was part of Melbourne Knowledge Week which aims to showcase the knowledge sector and enhance its reputation in a city already well known for its sport and culture.
