By Degrees: An Illustrated History of the University of Ballarat

4/5 ( ratings)

There are of course many subjects now studied at UB, which weren’t even thought of 130 years ago. However there are others such as geology, engineering and fine art, which were. The link is there and in an era that increasingly discounts the relevance or importance of the past, that connection with Ballarat’s beginnings is sure to eventually prove that only he who knows where he has been, has any hope of knowing where he is going.

The jacket illustration is taken from the Gold Museum’s postcard collection in Ballarat. It depicts the aftermath of a snowstorm in Sturt St in 1905.

Paul Haynes is a journalist and editor. After many years working in regional WA, where he won several awards for sports, travel and environmental writing he returned to Victoria in 1995. He subsequently edited The Wimmera Mail-Times, which in 1999 won the Fletcher Challenge award for best community newspaper in the British Commonwealth. He now lives in Ballarat, where he is writing an account of his childhood in Canada and the UK.
