Dr Richard Gillespie's personal history is closely intertwined with The University of Melbourne. Dr Gillespie studied and taught at the University before plying his trade in the world of museums. It's only fitting then that after 25 years the University again came calling for Dr Gillespie.
Now the curator for the Engineering and Information Technology Collection, Richard's historical knowledge of the faculty is second to none. We sat down with Richard to hear about how the University's Museums and Collections department works, and how we're celebrating the University's rich engineering and IT history everyday through the work showcased at Melbourne Connect.
