STATE RESEARCH FARM SOCIAL HISTORY PROJECT
Did you know the Victorian government established the State Research Farm in 1912 to boost Victoria's agricultural production and livestock husbandry? It was set up as an institution for research, experimentation and scientific advancement.
The Farm extended over 2000 acres of paddocks with lanes and drains and included a small community of workers and their families living on site.
To keep up to date on the research project, what we uncover, and how you can be involved, follow us on the project socials: @state_research_farm

WE’RE VERY EXCITED!!
We’ve begun work on a new project to capture the never before told social history of the community once living and working on the State Research Farm (SRF) in Werribee, through interviews, memoir, books, images and film.
Little of this social history has been recorded, making it vital to capture before the stories held in the memories of past residents and workers are lost forever. The project will celebrate the SRF’s 110th birthday this year.
The project is a collaboration between Arts Assist, Dr Monika Schott and the Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions.
Watch this space for more updates!
