Australian Generations will pioneer new ways of creating, interpreting and presenting oral history. Life history interviews with 300 Australians born between 1920 and 1990 will create a digital audio archive of 1500 hours of recordings which will be hosted by the National Library of Australia. Future researchers will benefit from online access to an immensely rich national oral history collection.The project will also produce two books and one of Australia's most ambitious radio history series.
Funded by an Australian Research Council Linkage award this project is a partnership between historians from Monash and La Trobe universities, the National Library of Australia and ABC Radio National.
More informaation about the project is available at the Monash University website.
