On Sunday 19 June 2016, a gathering of people celebrated the work of two Palmerston North women who have greatly contributed to the preservation and recording of our local history. Grant Smith (centre), Mayor of Palmerston North, gave the awards. Awardees were Lucy Marsden (left), a local historian who has written particularly on the history of Massey University, and Cushla Scrivens (right), who has edited the Manawatu Journal of History from its inception in 2005 to the present day, among many other things.
