Robin Gollan
Australian historian, academic and author
Robin "Bob" Gollan (8 December 1917 – 15 October 2007) was an Australian historian noted for having written the first history of a trade union. According to Stuart Macintyre, this began studies in labour history in Australia.[1] Others have argued that Gollan began the "second generation" of labour history.[2] Along with his former student and colleague, Eric Fry (1921-2007), Gollan established the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History and its journal, Labour History, in 1961.[3]
