Bob Hawke Postgraduate Scholarship
Scholarship Description
The Bob Hawke Postgraduate Scholarship, funded by donations to the University of South Australia's Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre, honours Prime Minister Bob Hawke's legacy by supporting excellent PhD research that draws upon the extensive collections of the Centre's Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Library. The Library comprises 58.5 shelf metres of archives containing diaries, letters, telegrams, minutes, speeches and newspaper cutting relating to Hawke. The collection also includes audio, photographs, posters, cartoons and ephemera.
