Accession[2009.0028] Historic Academic GownsIdentifierUMA-IT-000002000Scope and ContentInscriptions: There is a red leather label stitched into the gown with gold embossed text "The Rt. Hon. R.G. Menzies / Rothwells Outfitting Limited / Academic Robe Makers / Brisbane / 21-6-61"
The object consists of the gown (009.1) and the hood (009.2). The gown and hood are related to object 010 - miscellaneous graduation objects. It is unclear how this gown and hood have come to form part of the collections of the University of Melbourne when they relate to the University of Queensland. Initial investigations into why these objects were in the Historic Academic Gown Collection were conducted as part of the background research for the Significance Assessment in October 2008, and were unsuccessful in determining how they had come into the University's care.Access StatusAccess restrictions applyRequest TypeRequest unitUnit2009.0028 Unit 0009
