Capital: Melbourne when it was the capital city of Australia 1901–1927

Capital: Melbourne when it was the capital of Australia 1901-1927 is to be published as a trade paperback by Text Publishing in 2009. The Redmond Barry Fellowship was used to research and write a substantial section of this book. The bulk of material used for the project is held by the State Library of Victoria in Books, Newspapers, Manuscripts, and Pictures; and by the University of Melbourne Special Collections and Archives. The story of Melbourne then is an intriguing web of extraordinary people and events.
