THEN AND NOW

AT GIRLS GRAMMAR WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE AN EXTENSIVE ARCHIVE OF PHOTOS AND RECORDS from the School’s history. As Mrs Jenny Davis, Librarian – Special Collections, stated in her recent Insights article, ‘The role of Brisbane Girls Grammar School Archives is to use these resources to link the contributions of past students to the world, and to maintain traditions which have kept the School community together for the past 140 years‘ (2015).

Juxtaposed with images from modern times, these historical documents act ‘… as a source of inspiration …’ (Davis, 2015) and allow the broader community to bear witness to the remarkable progression, achievements and vibrancy of our School.
