[committee] Club History Inquiry

Sat Aug 3 21:54:20 AWST 2024

Hello Grace,
Apologies for the delay in responding, I have been away all week and therefore slow to respond.
Given the short time frame for you project I appreciate that is not helpful. 
I am glad that you have looked through our register.  
It occurs to me that it might be a project more suited to a UWA History student. I would suggest contacting the History Department to see if there is someone who might be interested? 
Otherwise, we can put it out to our members with the details of the project and there may be someone who wants to take it up.
If you let me know ASAP then we can distribute to our members.
Prue

We have looked at the register you sent and do not know if anyone on your list would be affordable for our budget. And so we are hoping to find a level 1 historian available for a week's worth of work.

When we turned 25, we commissioned a 10,000 word piece telling our history (attached). We were hoping to have another manuscript made, roughly the same size - updating the last 25 years.
