Margaret is a public historian with interests in women’s history, the history and demography of the family, and the presentation of history in museums. She is Director of the Old Treasury Building and co-curated the ‘Swinging 60s’ exhibition now on display in the building.
Designed by 19-year-old architect JJ Clark, the Old Treasury Building was built to house the gold bullion discovered during Victoria’s 1850s gold rush.
The colony’s leaders worked from offices in the grand palazzo-style building until the 1870s, and the Old Treasury now houses a collection of rare historic documents from Public Record Office Victoria, highlighting key moments from Victoria’s history.
