Description: The School of Chemistry at the University of Melbourne has an extensive cultural heritage collection of over 300 items. These items cover the first century of teaching and research in Chemistry at the University, from the 1850s to the 1960s. Currently a small exhibition featuring photographs and a selection of items from the Chemistry Collection can be viewed in the ground floor foyer of the Chemistry building. As part of the current redevelopment of this building, plans are underway to create a permanent museum to house and showcase the entire collection. In the meantime this Virtual Museum has been created to allow public access to this amazing and historically significant collection. This was made possible through a Scholarly Information Innovation Grant. A selection of items such as antique scientific instruments, interesting glassware and other unique pieces can be found under objects. A selection of 3D videos are available under interactive. For a reflection upon past people of interest at the School refer to the people. Where various items from the collection fit into the history of the School can be found in the historical timeline. This also includes an account of important moments in the history of the School of Chemistry. Finally the entire collection is available for viewing via the catalogue.

Description: The Medical History Museum and its collection were formally established in 1967 in conjunction with the Department of Medical History, under the professorship of Kenneth Russell. The museum itself was opened with generous funding from the Wellcome Institute (now Wellcome Trust), London, in support of study and research in medical history. The collection at this time consisted of a small but well-selected range of medical artefacts that Professor Russell had gradually acquired over time, with a view to opening a museum. This was in keeping with the long-standing tradition of leading medical schools across the world to develop their historical resources as a study collection. Since its opening in 1967, the museum's collection has grown substantially through the donation of documents, photographs, instruments, and records from medical graduates, families and institutions in and around Melbourne. Originally the collection mainly reflected the teaching of medicine at the University of Melbourne and its clinical schools, and the achievements of its graduates from the 1860s to the present day. However, the donation in 1971 of the nineteenth-century Savory and Moore Pharmacy, through a further grant from the Wellcome Trust, and the 1994 acquisition of the Australian Medical Association collection, has seen the scope of the museum broadened to reflect the history of medical practice in Victoria, and more generally the development of Western medicine. The Medical History Museum (MHM) in the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences at the University of Melbourne is the oldest and finest collection of its type associated with a Medical School in Australia. Established in 1967, by Kenneth Russell, a professor in anatomy, with support from the Wellcome Institute, London, the Medical History Museum, the museum covers the history of the Melbourne Medical School and the broader history of medicine in Australia and overseas The purpose of the museum is to encourage appreciation and understanding of the history of medicine and its role in society. The museum stimulates active learning about the history of medicine through research, teaching, and dialogue among communities of students, faculty, scholars, alumni, and the wider public. MHM has an annual program of Exhibitions. It is open to members of the public and functions as a tool for the University’s teaching and research. Tours are available by appointment.

Description: Colonial Australian Popular Fiction is an online bibliography and digital archive that gathers together for the first time a wide range of vibrant colonial writing that has previously been difficult to access. This archive began as part of a larger ARC-funded project based at The University of Melbourne, Australia, which has been examining the history of Australian popular or genre fiction from the early to late colonial period. Colonial Australian Popular Fiction is designed to operate as a major reading, research and teaching resource. It makes available a wide selection of popular colonial publications, many of which are now rare and out of print. Texts are imaged and presented in their original format, highlighting the physical and visual aspects of book production in what was a dynamic and competitive colonial publishing scene. The archive is now being extended and developed as part of an ongoing collaboration with the Library at the University of Melbourne.

Description: On 3 May 1999 the Council of the University of Melbourne declared the formation of the Australian Science and Technology Heritage Centre (Austehc) in the Faculty of Arts. Austehc will continue the academic, research and heritage activities of the Australian Science Archives Project (ASAP) which was established by Professor R.W. Home in 1985. The Centre will encompass ASAP's original objectives and continue to develop new programs that foster the preservation, promotion and development of the heritage of Australian science, technology and medicine. ASAP's popular online information resources, notably Bright Sparcs, will form the key focus of the Centre's activities. ASAP's 14 years experience at the local, national and international levels provides a solid foundation for the Centre's success. The important network of associations with academic, government and private organisations and individuals will be maintained and developed to further enhance the Centre's crucial role. Austehc will: Establish the infrastructure, through research, development and implementation, to undertake collaborative projects and activities relating to the history and heritage of science, technology and medicine, within the University of Melbourne and with external organisations and individuals; Create and provide access to authoritative information resources dealing with the history and heritage of science, technology and medicine, primarily with an Australian focus, to support academic scholarship, secondary and primary education, and general community awareness; Advance the pursuit of knowledge in the history, archival, museum, heritage studies and information management disciplines through teaching, research and development. The significant corporate archival and records management projects undertaken by ASAP over the past few years has led to the formation of a separate company, ASAP Information Services Pty Ltd. The separation of this commercial work from the academic, research and heritage activities will enable the Centre to maintain a strong focus on its fundamental goals. Along with ASAP's Director and founding staff member, Gavan McCarthy, Austehc has retained an essential core of ASAP's staff with distinctive expertise and knowledge as archivists, researchers, teachers, historians, and WWW-developers. Austehc will continue the self-funded tradition established by ASAP and work to enhance its position within the University of Melbourne and augment its strong links with the Department of History and Philosophy of Science.

Description: In 2007 the eScholarship Research Centre (ESRC) at the University of Melbourne became involved in a social science data archive project known as ASeSS or ASSDA Services for e-Social Sciences. In 2008 the Australian Social Science Data Archive (ASSDA) - Melbourne Node was established at the eScholarship Research Centre (ESRC). The Compendium of Social Science Research at the University of Melbourne registers and draws links between the organisations, people, projects, events and other entities. While the focus is on social science research at the University of Melbourne, it places these entities and activities within a national and international context. The Compendium includes a bibliography of related published materials and research record collections (both archives and collections still in the hands of researchers). The Compendium is constantly being added to and enriched. If you would like to add to the Compendium please contact us.

Description: Grainger's thoughts of establishing an autobiographical museum began in the early 1920s, initially in response to the sudden death of his mother Rose. In a letter to his friend Balfour Gardiner, dated 3 May 1922, Grainger mentioned the idea for the first time: 'All very intimate letters or notes should be deposited in an Australian Grainger Museum, preferably in birth-town Melbourne'. The project developed for some years in Grainger's mind. In the 1955 Museum Legend Aims of the Grainger Museum , Grainger set forth his intentions. Basically, he wanted to stress the creative side of music (composition), rather than the interpretive side (performance). Originally called the 'Music Museum and Grainger Museum', and later the 'Grainger Museum', the building was constructed in two stages between 1935 and 1939, facing Royal Parade on the University of Melbourne campus in Parkville. It was officially opened in December 1938. The Grainger Museum is the only purpose-built autobiographical museum in Australia. The building is in a simple Moderne style with some Arts and Crafts characteristics. It was designed by the University's architect, John Gawler of the firm Gawler and Drummond, in close consultation with Grainger, who funded the construction, staffing and upkeep during his lifetime. The Museum contains not only a large quantity of material from his own life, but much material concerning his musical contemporaries, particularly the lesser-known ones, such as his Frankfurt Group of composers. After many initial hindrances, such as the use of the building for storage and other purposes during and after the Second World War, most of the exhibits (including complex display legends) were finally established during Grainger's last visit to Australia in the mid 1950s, although he never completed the project to the extent that he had hoped. During the 1960s the museum was opened to the public on a regular basis for the first time and in 1966 briefly became the setting for concerts and workshops for jazz and avant-garde music. The following 20 years were a period of consolidation. An extensive programme of cataloguing the Museum's holdings - begun in the mid-1970s by the then curator, Dr Kay Dreyfus - resulted in the publication of several important volumes, including three music catalogues and the seminal book The farthest north of humanness: Letters of Percy Grainger 1901-14. As well as the permanent displays, temporary exhibitions highlighting different aspects of the collection were presented and concerts and cultural events were held. Almost since its opening in the 1930s the Museum suffered from problems caused by the building's location and design. In 2003 the building was closed to the public and the collection relocated to offsite storage. This enabled a major problem of building conservation works to be undertaken under the supervision of heritage architects Lovell Chen Pty Ltd, resulting in improved facilities for the collection, visitors and staff. These works have been funded by the University of Melbourne, the University Library and several generous gifts and bequests. The Museum building reopened to the public on Sunday 17 October 2010 with a new suite of exhibitions, curated by Grainger Museum staff and designed by Lucy Bannyan of Bannyan Wood Pty Ltd. The Grainger Museum is now part of the University of Melbourne Library.
