| Summary |
"The purpose of the thematic history has been to connect the past through existing physical evidence; provide a background to significant aspects of cultural history no longer physically present; and to give greater recognition to some sections of the community and historical events and associations that have been previously marginalised, or where limited analysis has been given (either as a consequence of cultural norms in earlier periods of history or for other reasons). While thematic histories of parts of Greater Geelong have previously been prepared, they have concentrated on earlier municipalities prior to Council amalgamations, and an overall thematic analysis has therefore been disjointed. This thematic history aims to give a broad, meaningful appreciation of Greater Geelong that accounts for its history and heritage in a consistent manner."--Introduction, page 5. |
