The Centenary Committee and its sub-committees were formed to manage the celebration of the hospital’s 100 years of existence. The Historical Sub-Committee included historian Jacqueline Templeton. At a meeting of the Historical Sub-Committee held on 14 February 1967, she outlined her plan for compiling a history of the Hospital. The result was a book titled 'Prince Henry's: The Evolution of a Melbourne Hospital 1869 - 1969', published in 1969.
