Historical information

Volunteers at the Arthritis Foundation of Victoria's Malvern Op Shop sort through clothes in a large clothing bin while another person peruses the shelves. The op shop was located at 1428 High Street, Malvern. A slightly cropped version of this photo appears on page 15 of the No 42, November 1986 issue of the Arthritis Foundation of Victoria's quarterly newsletter, News Review. It accompanies a brief article titled, "Opportunity Shop Annual General Meeting", in which the op shop's "facelift" of new carpeting and lighting is mentioned. Two more photos and a second brief article on the op shop's refurbishment appear on page 16 (the back cover) of the same issue.
