500 Victorians - Centenary Edition 1934
Published by Maurice G. Henderson: Melbourne 1934

" 500 Victorians - Centenary Edition 1934, published by Maurice G. Henderson in Melbourne, is a commemorative biographical volume celebrating the lives and achievements of 500 prominent citizens of Victoria at the time of the state's centenary. The book serves as both a historical record and a social chronicle, offering concise biographical sketches of individuals who contributed to Victoria's development in fields such as politics, business, science, the arts, education, and public service. Each entry highlights personal accomplishments, professional milestones, and civic involvement, presenting a collective portrait of the men and women who helped shape Victoria's identity during its first hundred years of European settlement.

Beyond its biographical focus, the volume also captures the optimistic and patriotic spirit of 1930s Australia, reflecting a society proud of its progress and resilience amid changing economic and social circumstances. The publication is richly produced, often featuring portraits and formal listings that convey the stature of its subjects. Today, 500 Victorians - Centenary Edition stands as an invaluable historical reference, preserving the legacy of Victoria's early leaders and offering insight into the cultural and civic values that defined the state at the height of its centennial celebrations."
