In her article “Reinvigorating the history of education”, published in the Education Review (March 2012, p.9), Jillian Dellit drew comparisons between the need for teachers to become involved in the development of the history of education and the approaches taken by family historians as they traced their family trees. As Dellit has noted, knowledge of some educational organisations has almost disappeared, simply because records have not been preserved, and a reliance on anecdotal accounts may not provide complete representations of important educational activities and ideas. Dellit's commentary has suggested the need to develop training schemes and structured programs that can help educators to develop documentation procedures and preserve records of educational activities and institutions.
