Scroll: A Journal by Student Conservators at Melbourne

Scroll is a journal published by students of the Grimwade Centre of Cultural Materials Conservation (Student Conservators at Melbourne SC@M). They publish under a range of categories, including essays, reviews, interviews, reports, and other creative outputs.

Contributions are welcome from current and recent graduates of the Grimwade Centre, as well as from graduates in Art Curatorship, and Arts and Cultural Management, and any other graduates who have an interest in conservation and the heritage sector.

The journal aims to offer students to experience in writing creatively and critically (outside of the context and pressures of assignments), as well as share projects, activities, or general musings. Submissions will also benefit from editing and feedback to help hone writing skills.

2023–2024 saw some departures from and some new members of the editorial team, with the addition of Lauren Wolfram, Misty Wade,  and Holly Brown. Founding editors, Rachel Davis and Emma Dacey departed, while fellow founding editor Joshua Loke along with 2022 additions, Emily May and Jonathan van Toor, recommitted to their roles and to maintaining a non-hierarchical working structure, meaning that the new editors could hit the ground running with equal weight.

Volumes 1 to 3 of Scroll are available on the Student Conservators at Melbourne (SC@M) website. Scroll thanks SC@M for their continued support. More information on submitting is available on Scroll’s Participate page.

Scroll was established on the Country of the Wurundjeri and Boonwurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. The sovereignty of these lands was never ceded. The editors of Scroll acknowledge the Traditional Owners and pay our respects to Elders past and present.
