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.

Arapiles Historical Society
Domestic object - Shoehorn
Shoehorns have been used for centuries, with early versions crafted from bone, wood, or metal. This design suggests it may be from the late 19th to early 20th century, when metal shoehorns became more common. The curved hook handle could indicate it was designed for use in a retail shoe store, a bootmaker’s shop, or as a household item. Shoehorns were particularly useful for wearing tightly fitted leather shoes or boots, helping preserve their shape and preventing damage. The patina and wear suggest long-term use, possibly in a workshop, household, or professional setting.This is a curved metal shoehorn, used to assist in putting on shoes without damaging the heel or crushing the back of the shoe. The blade is broad and flat, tapering slightly towards the end for ease of insertion into the shoe. The handle curves upward into a hook shape, likely for hanging storage or to provide a better grip when in use. The surface is darkened and aged, with visible patina and signs of wear, indicating significant age and use. Owned by V EMMETT of Natimukshoehorn, bootmaker, shoe maker, household item -

Orbost & District Historical Society
boot buttons
From A. & D. Munro's bootmaker's shop. Archie Munro came to Orbost and started a boot shop in Cameron's barn where he was Acting Post Master.High button boots became a fashion in the 1870s when hemlines were fashionable at the ankle, rather than dusting the top of the shoe. Previous to the high button boot was the ankle bootie favored by Queen Victoria. They laced up and gave no support to the ankle. But, when the dress hemline inched up a bit, more of the ankle was exposed. So, industrious shoe designers came up with a taller shaft of the boot, fastened with buttons rather than laces. This item is an example of early fashion.Six small black boot buttons on a silver safety pin.buttons costume accesories footwear
