Fitzroy
History
Milkbar.com.au
is not really a traditional local history of Fitzroy (as it
is more concerned with understanding electronic scholarship
and globalisation) however it is worth acknowledging the numerous
valuable historical studies that individuals and groups have
made within the area.
-
The
most comprehensive history of Fitzroy was written in 1989.
-
Fitzroy:
Melbourne's First Suburb, Cutten History Committee
of the Fitzroy Historical Society, Hyland House Publishing,
Melbourne, 1989.
-
"This
bibliography shows that Fitzroy has frequently been in the
cockpit of change. Local Historians often claim that that
their work is a microcosm of a larger, more important picture.
Such a claim is easily sustained by Historians of Fitzroy"
