The West Gate Project

February 8, 2019

Sarah Gregson and I have published a new website, to report on our research into the West Gate Bridge collapse in 1970 and its aftermath. We will add more of our work over time, and have created a resources page collecting together a range of materials on about the disaster and response to it. If you want to share information or materials about the collapse with us, please get in touch.
