Introduction
I am particularly interested in the contribution made by women to the history, political, social and cultural life and businesses in the area. This interest came about by someone saying on a history project conducted on another suburb that there were 'no notable people in Subiaco'. After a brief search I found there were many notable people which local streets, parks and places had been named after and in particular by women from the earliest times as Indigenous peoples, missionaries and landowners to the present as business owners and active in local politics and the community.
The aim of this blog is not to reinvent the history of the City of Subiaco. The history and the social and cultural life has been complied by many accomplished individuals and organisations and can be found at the State and local libraries, historical museum and online. My aim is to coordinate their work and add a few touches of my own including photographs as I discover my new home.
I originally started this blog as the 'Subiaco History Chronicles' in March. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and libraries closing my research and blogging ground to a halt. Now the restrictions have been lifted I am back on my journey to discover the fascinating history of the City of Subiaco. I have changed the name of my blog to 'Greetings from Subiaco'.
I have included some research and blog posts I wrote on family history and notable people from another context. I hope people find my coordination useful.
