Community Liaison
In line with Monash University Gippsland's commitment to be a university of and for the region, the Centre for Gippsland Studies facilitates interaction with the community in the areas of Gippsland, regional and community history and heritage issues. It establishes a dialogue between the University and the community.
Among the CGS's community initiatives are a collection that is available for community research and the Centre's newsletter, Gippsland Roundup, that is produced for community readers. We liaise with historical societies, community groups, libraries, local government, schools and ABC Gippsland radio.The Gippsland Heritage Journal is aimed at a general audience and publishes a vibrant mix of articles from community and academic researchers, bringing the two groups together to share information.
Each year, the Centre for Gippsland Studies hosts a history conference, as well as community lectures and seminars. The Centre offers advice on cataloguing collections and storage of archival material, as well as on research and writing.
