Kew Historical Society IncDocument - Scrapbook, Dorothy Rogers, Newspaper Articles : Eastern Suburbs Standard / by Dorothy Rogers, 1964
This work forms part of the collection assembled by the historian Dorothy Rogers, that was donated to the Kew Historical Society by her son John Rogers in 2015. The manuscripts, photographs, maps, and documents were sourced by her from both family and local collections or produced as references for her print publications. Many were directly used by Rogers in writing ‘Lovely Old Homes of Kew’ (1961) and 'A History of Kew' (1973), or the numerous articles on local history that she produced for suburban newspapers. Most of the photographs in the collection include detailed annotations in her hand.The Rogers Collection provides a comprehensive insight into the working habits of a historian in the 1960s and 1970s. Together it forms the largest privately-donated collection within the archives of the Kew Historical Society.A scrapbook compiled by the historian Dorothy Rogers comprised largely of 15 articles that she wrote for the Eastern Suburbs Standard between January and August 1964. The scrapbook includes inset typed sections that had been edited from the versions published in the newspapers. This makes this copy the most important manuscript of the articles. On the inside of the front cover, the author notes that "the scrapbook is covered from a roll [of wallpaper] left over after papering the dining-room of 'The Gables' our family home [Gladstone Street] now demolished"scrapbooks, dorothy rogers, local history. -- articles. -- kew (vic) -
