Historical information

A photo of widows in Legacy House sorting stamps. The names are unknown. The date is presumed to be late 1990s. The widows clubs have sorted used stamps and sold to a stamp dealer for many years to the present day. It raises funds and provides a purpose for gathering together.
The timetable for activities was published in The Answer (prior to Sept 1992 it was called the Melbourne Legacy Widows' Newsletter) each month. These regular meetings and workshops provided important opportunities for widows to meet, socialise and be active.

Significance

A record of the type of activities Legacy provided as a social outlet for the widows and fundraising.
