Wright, Kirsten and Lewis, Antonina (2010) 'Where Fire Risks are Great': A Tale of Arson, Bureaucracy and the Schoolyard. Provenance, 2010 (9). ISSN 1832-2522
Abstract
The discovery of damaged and burnt volumes in the Victoria University Archives led the authors on an investigation into the circumstances of a fire which occurred at the Footscray Technical School in 1953. Contemporary attitudes to fire protection in public schools, and life in Footscray, as revealed through records of the time, are also discussed with reference to the school.
