Richard Broome, emeritus professor Department of History at La Trobe University, is the author of eleven books and thirty papers.  His latest project has been the editing of the sumptuous book, Remembering Melbourne, released late last year.  The book contains over 700 photos of buildings Melbourne has lost.  The Royal Historical Society of Victoria, the publisher of the book, contributed the bulk of the photos, concentrating on the central city; the rest of book relied on the contributions of about twenty historical societies, including EMHS, which provided chapters about their suburbs.

Professor Broome will talk about the work involved in compiling the book.
