THE Ballarat Anzacs<\/em> exhibition will be presented in the Ballaarat Mechanics\u2019 Institute\u2019s Heritage Reading Room in April.<\/p>\n

Opening this Monday, Arch of Victory-Avenue of Honour Committee president Garry Snowden said it will feature story boards, photographs, historic ephemera, memorabilia from the Ballarat Ranger Military Museum, and miniature statues.<\/p>\n

His aim is to give the community an insight into the Ballarat people and personalities who became Anzacs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m always keen for people to get a better understanding of the human stories associated with the Avenue. When we say, \u2018we will remember them,\u2019 this exhibition is about \u2018them\u2019,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey weren\u2019t robots or movie characters, they were ordinary Ballarat folk, including 56 nurses who are commemorated in our Avenue of Honour.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the exhibition, we have stories on a general cross-section of soldiers, the Lucas Girls, nurses, tunnellers, and some of our 46 sets of brothers commemorated in our Avenue who lost their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The BMI\u2019s cultural development and services manager Mark Potter said the exhibition is a chance for the Institute to showcase historical items in their collection, and their spectacular Heritage Reading Room.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to remind the community that we have this amazing research facility, and encourage younger audiences into the BMI,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Each Thursday at 11am from 7 April to 28 April, a presentation relating to a different Ballarat Anzac theme will be made in the BMI Library. Speakers will include historians Yvon Davis, Phil Roberts, and Mr Snowden.<\/p>\n

On Tuesdays and Thursdays until the exhibition closes on 28 April, Mr Snowden will be available in the Heritage Reading Room, alongside Ms Davis and Ballarat Ranger Military Museum manager Neil Leckie.<\/p>\n

From 12pm to 2pm, they will help members of the public with any Anzac family history queries they may have.<\/p>\n

The presentations are free, but attendees are encouraged to register at ballaratmi.org.au\/events<\/strong>, where there is also information about each talk\u2019s individual theme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
