Who was Geoffrey Bolton?
Former Chancellor and esteemed historian Professor Geoffrey Bolton AO was one of Murdoch University’s most iconic figures. As an eminent historian and socio-political commentator, Professor Bolton immersed himself in the history of Western Australia and its people. Many of his published works can be found in the Library’s Research Portal, and items including Professor Bolton’s academic regalia and personal memorabilia can be found in the History of Murdoch University Collection.
In 2016 the main Library at Murdoch’s South Street campus was named in his honour.
Geoffrey Bolton is the patron saint of Western Australian history. No one has done more to promote the study of Western Australian history and encourage new and thought provoking interpretations of its content.
