Welcome to Foy’s

Cover of booklet given to new employees of Foy & Gibson Limited as part of their induction training, introducing employees to the Company’s conditions and amenities.

The University of Melbourne Archives has a remarkable collection of photographs, catalogues, account books and correspondence related to the Foy & Gibson department store. Some of these resources have been digitised and are available online, and Thomas Feng’s recent Pursuit piece ‘When department stores were more than just stores’ highlights Foy’s place in the history of Melbourne retailing.
