It is a great pleasure to announce that Helen Gobbi, the History Monash Inc historian and Vice-President, was awarded a Medal (OAM) in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List on 8 June 2020.  Helen’s award is for “service to community history”.  Her award is very well deserved, as Helen has contributed actively to History Monash Inc for over twenty years (including as President for nine terms).  Helen continues to make a huge contribution of her time to exhibitions, research, writing, collecting and preserving archives, and many other facets of community history.

Congratulations and thanks to Helen from all at History Monash Inc.!
