One Small World: the history of the Addison Road Community Centre was independently written and funded through a series of grants. While conceived as a history of place, it is also a history of the organisation that presently occupies the site, the Addison Road Community Centre (ARCCO). The Centre has had an ambivalent relationship to its past. After 60 years as an army depot, in 1976 it became a community centre. The strict discipline of the army was replaced by a very different ethos and political outlook; in fact, its antithesis. As a consequence, the Centre had an uneasy relationship to the history of the site, particularly its army past, which was underappreciated and little valued. ARCCO has recently re-engaged with its public history, but in the process it veered off into mythology. The paper explores the ANZAAC Centenary celebration at Addison Road of horses in war in 2015, and the part funding played in creating myth rather than history. It then considers the role of the Department of Urban and Regional Development in the creation of the Centre in 1975-76 and ARCCO’s attachment to its story of radical origins.

小世界

一个小世界：艾迪生路社区中心的历史是独立撰写的，并通过一系列赠款提供资金。尽管被视为地点的历史，但它也是目前占据该地点的组织的历史，即Addison Road社区中心（ARCCO）。该中心与其过去有着矛盾的关系。作为军队仓库60年后，1976年成为社区中心。严格的军队纪律被完全不同的精神和政治观所取代；实际上，其对立面。结果，该中心与该地点的历史，特别是其军队的过往关系不稳，这被低估了，价值不高。ARCCO最近重新涉足了公共历史，但在此过程中逐渐转向神话。本文探讨了2015年在Addison Road举行的战争中马匹的ANZAAC百年庆典，以及部分资金在创造神话而不是历史中发挥了作用。然后，它考虑了城市和区域发展部在1975-76年创建该中心时所扮演的角色，以及ARCCO对其激进渊源故事的依恋。关键词艾迪生路社区中心；城市和区域发展部；ANZAC百周年纪念；军队; 马里克维尔 多元文化主义 马里克维尔 多元文化主义 马里克维尔 多元文化主义
