Jean Whyte Fund For Research into Librarianship, Archives and Records at Monash University

Published: 19 March 2008

Research and teaching in librarianship, archives and records has long been a vital part of Monash University. Professor Jean Whyte was the foundation Professor of Librarianship in the Graduate School of Librarianship established at Monash in 1975, a position from which she retired in 1988.

Her death in 2003 saw Monash University receive a sizeable bequest from her estate to support research in librarianship, records and archives, and to support the library's research collections in English literature, librarianship and philosophy.

Jean Whyte's sister, Phyllis Whyte, also bequeathed a substantial part of her estate to Monash University in honour of her sister.

To honour her role, Monash has established the Jean Whyte Fund to promote a range of research activities in librarianship, archives and records, including:

• Research projects, including collaborative projects with industry, professional and community partners
• Higher degree research projects
• Travel grants for HDR students
• Writing and publication projects
