WELCOME

School & Community is the name given to a project that is being coordinated by the Family & Community Historical Research Society. The project is using School Log Books as a primary source for research into the relationship between a school and the community it served between 1862 and 1932.

During our research period much of the project news will continue to be updated on the web site of the Family & Community Historical Research Society FACHRS.

The development of this web site serves two purposes.

  1. To be a recruiting portal to attract people who would like to take part in the project.
  2. Ultimately to become a repository for information relating to school log books

Current Status
The academic aspect of the project is now in the final phase, that of writing up the findings of log books examined to date. We are not yet in the repository stage.

Why not volunteer to be a project researcher?
If you have an interest in local or family history you could be a real asset to the project. The longer term aspect of the project is to continue to make transcription of school log books available to the wider population of those persons involved in research in social history or the history of education.
