Historical Significance: The Victorian College of Optometry formally started annual programs of continuing education for its members in 1976. It had previously initiated biennial congresses, known as the Southern Regional Congress,organised in conjunction with the Victorian Division of the Australian Optometrical Association. In 1976 it decided more was needed than one two-day congress every second year and that the College should place more emphasis on short courses rather than a smorgasbord of Congress lectures. It offered annual programs of monthly evening technical meetings, short courses of one or two days and clinical workshops. It also provided an audio-visual postal service so that country members could watch the technical meetings on video. In order to promote these offerings the College published a monthly newsletter advertising the courses and lectures but also providing news, information about new books and occasional guidelines on aspects of clinical practice, known as practice audits. Cat No 1391 c conatins a list of all the practice audits from 1979 to 1999. This is an almost complete set of the College's newsletters from 1976.
