ARC Linkage Project 2005
In April 2004 a research proposal entitled The Social Sciences and the Making of Postwar Australia was submitted to the ARC for consideration for funding in 2005. Chief Investigators for the project are Professor Robert Pascoe (Victoria University of Technology) and Stuart Macintyre (the University of Melbourne ). Both the Academy and the National Library of Australia were listed as Industry Partners in the application. Successful funding was announced by the Minister on 17 November and research work for the project is now underway.
