09.01.2022 OUR NEW SECRETARY Congratulations to Philippa Stevens CF (2019) on her appointment as Secretary to the NSW Association of Churchill Fellows. Because of COVID-19, Philippa, is still awaiting to undertake her fellowship research. She has the aim of benchmarking the balance of access, security and preservation for significant library collections. Philippa said: I will be researching the best way for the State Library to protect its collection, given that we have to provide it t...o researchers and whenever you open up a collection, there’s a risk of damage. I am hoping to learn from the best around the world when it comes to protecting a library’s assets" You can read what her employer, the State Library of NSW, had to say about Philippa when received her fellowship https://www.sl.nsw.gov.au//library-manager-receives-presti

09.01.2022 Congratulations to the Churchill Fellows of 2020. At Government House on Friday 30 October 2020 twenty two of our twenty five new Fellows were presented to Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC QC, Governor of New South Wales. After the award ceremony the Fellows enjoyed the hospitality of the Governor and her husband Mr Wilson as they mingled and chatted about their proposed travels. Afterwards the new Fellows were joined by their partners and friends as we enjoy...ed a wonderful meal at Parliament House. The dinner was hosted in the Strangers dinning room by Matt Keane MP Minister for Energy and Environment and Member for Hornsby. President of the NSW Association of Churchill Fellows Ian Krimmer CF said Although the future is full of uncertainty as to when each Fellow will be able to travel, it was encouraging to hear the enthusiasm as they each gave a short talk about their proposed research and adventures ahead. My special thanks to all the NSWCFA Committee who worked so hard to ensure such a successful dinner function and the raffle which raised over $800 towards a future sponsored Fellowship and events. Both the NSW Churchill Fellows Association and the staff of the Trust in Canberra are committed to providing support and encouragement for each new Fellow said President Ian
