The New Corps History Project
This is an exciting new venture sponsored by the Head of Corps and it entails a very different approach to the original Corps History Book was released in 1992. At that time the internet was in its early days and social media was not available. Therefore it was developed by engaging an experienced historian and was very much a text supported by photographs approach.
The history project approach is quite exciting in that it takes full advantage of the on-line access and social media that we all now enjoy to have a collaborative approach to building up a pictoral history. The project has a very structured approach being run as a project with COL Ross Grant at its head and good team representation. The really powerful element of this approach is that provides the opportunity for individuals to be very involved and as such creates a lot of interest and Corps identity.
