The Kew Historical Society collection includes almost 100 subdivision plans pertaining to suburbs of the City of Melbourne. Most of these are of Kew, Kew East or Studley Park, although a smaller number are plans of Camberwell, Deepdene, Balwyn and Hawthorn. It is believed that the majority of the plans were gifted to the Society by persons connected with the real estate firm - J. R. Mathers and McMillan, 136 Cotham Road, Kew. The Plans in the collection are rarely in pristine form, being working plans on which the agent would write notes and record lots sold and the prices of these. The subdivision plans are historically significant examples of the growth of urban Melbourne from the beginning of the 20th Century up until the 1980s. A number of the plans are double-sided and often include a photograph on the reverse. A number of the latter are by noted photographers such as J.E. Barnes.The Doona Estate subdivision of 1929 created 11 new allotments bordered by Glenferrie Road, Stonnington Place, Cross and Church Streets. On the right of the plan, the location of ‘State Govt. House’ is noted. Stonnington was to be maintained as Victoria’s Government House until 1931, two years after the Doona Estate subdivision was released.subdivision plans - toorak, doona estate

The title "Die Heilige Schrift" was commonly used in Lutheran and Catholic Bible translations in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. This Bible could be a 19th or 20th-century edition, possibly based on Martin Luther’s 1545 translation, which was widely used in Protestant communities. Many German family Bibles served as important heirlooms, containing handwritten records of marriages, births, and deaths, making them valuable for genealogical research.This is a vintage German Bible titled "Die Heilige Schrift", which translates to "The Holy Scripture" in English. The book has a black leather-bound cover with an elegant gold-embossed cross at the center, framed by a double-lined gold border. The spine appears to be richly decorated with gold embossing, likely featuring the title and possibly additional decorative elements such as bands or symbols. The Bible is housed in a protective slipcase, which is made of sturdy cardboard with a textured black-and-white pattern. The slipcase shows signs of wear and tear, particularly along the edges and corners, indicating it has been used and handled frequently over the years.The title "Die Heilige Schrift" suggests that this Bible was intended for German-speaking Christians, possibly of the Lutheran or Catholic faith. The spine and title page (not visible in the image) may provide details about the edition, publisher, and year of printing. Many older German family Bibles include genealogical records, handwritten notes, or dedications, which can offer valuable insights into its historical significance.religious, bible, lutheran
