Heritage Screensaver
New Framework of Historical Themes screensaver
Install the Heritage Council’s new screen saver – showcasing Victoria’s Framework of Historical Themes.
The state’s first Framework of Historical Themes was developed by Heritage Victorian in collaboration with the Heritage Council of Victoria and Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council and involved extensive consultation with other Heritage professionals.
Launched in February 2010, the Framework highlights what is distinctive about Victoria and increases awareness and appreciation of the state’s heritage.
The screensaver features 27 images – three for each of the nine themes – showcasing places and objects across the state.
This stunning screensaver has been built to fit both Mac and Windows for a variety of screen sizes (1024 x 768, 1280 x 800, 1280 x 1024 and 1290 x 1080).
If the size you require is not available online, you can request a copy. Please email heritage.victoria@dpcd.vic.gov.au or call 8644 8800.
