Curtin University in Western Australia will launch the Elizabeth Jolley Research Collection later this week. The online collection will showcase the life and work of Jolley, who had a long association with Curtin University as a teacher of creative writing. The collection will be launched on Friday 8 February by Ian Templeman, who employed and published Jolley at the Fremantle Arts Centre Press in the 1970s. Following the launch, there will be a forum discussing Jolley's work and its influence, featuring academic Elizabeth Webby and authors Dave Warner, Julienne van Loon and Kim Scott.
