Electrical Engineering Education Museum

Full description

The Electrical Engineering Education Museum (1997-) consists of approximately 120 accessioned items, including photographs, certificates and historical literature. The bulk of the material is electrical, electronic, telegraphic and radio equipment ranging from the late 19th century to the present day. This includes some rare early Galvanometers, Alternating Ammeters and Resistance Bridges. The mission of the Collection is to archive, preserve and document the history of the Electrical Engineering Department's teaching within the context of the University of Melbourne and, in particular, to develop a greater understanding of the development of the Department since its inception in 1947.
