Jen Saunders (PhD candidate) is the inaugural Liz Hilton Memorial Fellow. The principal purpose of the Fellowship is to facilitate and support the use of the Library’s Archival collections for a sustained period of study and research by students or staff of the University. Valued at $7000, the Fellowship is made possible through a bequest from the estate of former UOW staff Elisabeth (Liz) Hilton.
The research project: Cross-reading South Coast histories aims to extend understanding of the interconnectedness of local histories by cross-reading two UOW Archives collections—D217 Archibald Campbell and D92 Frank McCaffrey—through networks across landscape and time periods.
