digital Kiosk Wins an award!
The Society's Interactive Digital Kiosk project showing stories of Ipswich service men from World War 1 was awarded the Gallery and Museums Achievement Award for a project by a volunteer organisation!
The stories are about those whose names are inscribed on the three honour boards displayed in our Ipswich at War and the Home Front display and, as there is no physical honour board, we have created a digital honour roll for Aboriginal servicemen with a connection to Ipswich.
The awards were announced at the Museums and Galleries Queensland Opening Doors 2019 Conference in Cairns on Thursday 19 September. Awards are presented by M&G QLD to honour the achievements of individuals and organisations in striving towards excellence.
