The shortlist for the 2020 Victorian Premier’s History Award and Community History Awards has been announced.
The list at the Public Record Office is a bit confusing because it includes history projects and exhibitions and all sorts of other things, but Books & Publishing has helpfully identified the books from among the 32 publications, and here they are.
The Convent: A City Finds its Heart (Stuart Kells, MUP)
Out of the Madhouse: From Asylums to Caring Community? (Sandy Jeffs and Margaret Leggatt, Australian Scholarly Publishing)
Democratic Adventurer: Graham Berry and the Making of Australian Politics (Sean Scalmer, Monash University Publishing)
Maurice Blackburn: Champion of the People (David Day, Scribe), see my review
Gariwerd: An Environmental History of the Grampians (Benjamin Wilkie, CSIRO Publishing)
Geelong’s Changing Landscape: Ecology, Development and Conservation (David S Jones and Philip B Roös, CSIRO Publishing).
Congratulations to all the authors, researchers, editors and publishers!
