Oral History is a powerful tool to capture the living histories of the people from our communities. Through the sharing of memories and stories in a recorded interview, oral histories, provides a means of capturing lived experiences, giving a voice to our past.
​
This project aims to create an oral history archive of village life in the Dubbo Region. The interviews will be published via our website and be accessible for public and research purposes.
