Download old maps and plans | PROV Is it seeing the origin of your geographic home that holds your attention? Or do you prefer the rich aesthetic of old maps? Sometimes its not the map's location which draws our breath but its sketched up lines mixed with colour that when turned upside down are akin more to contemporary art than an 1850 cadastral map of land boundaries in Footscray. Public Record Office Victoria preserves one of the more comprehensive collections of olds maps and plans in Victoria, some argue one of the most valuable in Australia, and following a multi-year project dedicated to making it accessible, over half of it can now be downloaded. Historic Plans Collection The collection known as The Historic Plans collection includes 11500 items from across 48 collections, and dates from the year 1836 until 1984.

You and the teachers from across the nation who will join you in your workshop group are outstanding practitioners of the art of teaching. National Endowment for the Humanities workshops are designed to be an intellectual haven, a place to read, think, debate and explore without the encumbrances of exams, papers, grades, credits and degrees. Here is your chance to be a student again and to enjoy learning for the sake of learning. To help you plan your stay, we’ve designed this participant website featuring a daily schedule of events; maps and directions; an information sheet with details on housing and meals, and seminar readings.
