Finding the radio book

In February 2012 I stumbled upon a trove of company documents from the 1940s and 1950s at a demolition site in Footscray, Melbourne. Here I tell the stories associated with those documents: the records of signwriting company Lewis & Skinner, and the tattered books of correspondence connected with writer Morris West and the radio serial company he started and ran, Australasian Radio Productions. Plus the more general exploration of 'ghost signs' that my discovery has sparked.

Three stories in the local papers about the current Lewis & Skinner exhibition at the VU Footscray Park library

Here are some stories in the local press about my latest bunch of sign-related exploits:
