The Victorian Archives Centre plays host to regular displays of original records from our collection as well as touring exhibitions about Victorian stories.

Over Summer, the Victorian Archives Centre will present Summers Past: Golden Days in the Sun 1950-1970, a fascinating photographic exhibition highlighting Australia’s fascination with the sun and sea.

Summers Past will explore our enduring love affair of all things summer, invoking memories of carefree sunny days at the beach in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

This is your last chance to view this exhibition before it returns to the National Archives of Australia in April 2012.

So slip on your cossie, slop on the sunscreen and head down to the Victorian Archives Centre this summer!

Summers Past: Golden Days in the Sun 1950-1970 is on display until April 2012. Entry is free.
