Working Brief (Jan 1996) and Interim Report of and to the City of Boroondara Memorabilia Working Group on which the representatives of Kew were Jill O’Brien and Dorothy Benyei. The Brief described the items under consideration to include: “historic artefacts, photographic material, books, works on paper, textiles and a number of outdoor items”. The response in the Interim Report September 11, 1996 noted that in contrast to the submission by the Kew representatives for Kew-related material to be relocated to the Kew Library, the Society had been given a scarf, a ceremonial cover, and a cup and saucer. The items that the Kew representatives wanted returned to Kew included five paintings and a photograph. These are itemised in the report.
