Trove Tuesday - Hot March

Our ABC reported recently that "Sydney's hot spell is the longest ever, with temperatures soaring above 26 degrees Celsius for 36 days in a row."

It's interesting to note that on March 15, 1943 and March 15, 1915 newspapers from all around Australia were reporting on hot temperatures around NSW.

The History Sector in NSW

The Society has received notification via email of results of a recent survey.

"In April 2013 the History Council of NSW (HCNSW) conducted an online survey of the history sector in NSW. The purpose of the HCNSW History Sector State of Play Survey was to take a snapshot of the history sector today in order to better understand who it involves, how it is functioning and inform planning for how to make improvements and address key issues. We had an overwhelming response to the survey and are pleased to announce the results are now published on our website. Please follow the link below to access the results."
