| Oral history of the foundations of the Victorian community legal sector | The Federation of Community Legal Centres wanted to document the history of the Victorian community legal sector movement through the words of those who were there at the beginning. This movement for justice, which now includes 50 community legal centres across the state, began in the 1970s, when a small group of forward-thinking lawyers established the first community legal centre in Victoria, in an effort to address unmet legal need and to create an organisation through which they could advocate for just and fair laws. Last year, we invited some of the founding members of the sector/movement to speak freely about that time and their experiences in the nascent years of the community legal sector. The conversation was chaired by Jon Faine AM, who spent time working in community legal centres in the early 80s. The conversation lasted one hour and the audio was recorded. | Activism, Politics and Social Change | Federation of Community Legal Centres | |

| Port Phillip Library Local History Oral History Collection | 110 cassette tapes created by the former South Melbourne and Port Melbourne Historical Society. They did not merge with any other society. The majority of recordings are from older members of the community describing their life and key events in the area. About half seem to be recorded presentations at the historical society meetings, not interviews. Some of the cassette tapes have dates and include the name of the speaker of interviewer/s but there is limited metadata available about the interview beyond the name of the speaker. In addition, 20 digital mp3 recordings on USBs in a drawer in Heritage Centre staff room. File name includes the name of interviewee and year, sometimes full date. Some of the names are the same as on the cassette tapes. The digital tapes seem to be mostly interviewed by a local history librarian and constitute a separate project to the majority of the cassette tapes by the South Melbourne and Port Melbourne historical society. Only two of the digital interviews have slates so the interviewer is mostly unknown. |

| The Breath of the Wok: Melbourne's early Chinese Restaurants | These oral histories are part of a thesis "THE BREATH OF THE WOK: MELBOURNE’S EARLY CHINESE RESTAURANTS" that explores Melbourne’s Chinese restaurants and their relationship with the city from the late 1900s to the early 1950s. Apart from acknowledgement and commentary in historical recipe books by Chinese Australians, these businesses are dismissed in a line or two whenever new culinary and general histories appear. Recorded as socially isolated and frequented by prostitutes, gamblers, drunks and other unrepresentative social groups, they are recorded as ‘uncomfortable’ places for respectable non-Chinese Melburnians to patronise. Despite almost continuous growth from the late nineteenth century, they do not gain currency until the 1950s when they come to the fore as part of the post-war socio-cultural and economic success story. | Museum of Chinese Australian History | Melbourne, Victoria | |

| Time and Place | The collection is a series of cassette recordings of a 30 minute program called 'Time and Place' that went to air on a Monday night between 9.00 and 9.30 on Radio 3RRR. It ran between 1985 and 1987 having grown out of a program called 'The History Show' which moved from 3RRR to 3CR during 1985. Time and Place was less academic in style and presentation than 'The History Show' and it included interviews with authors from a range of backgrounds, reviews of books and magazines, discussions of current issues in history education, archive and heritage preservation and short interviews connected with the oral history of places and sites in Melbourne. The quality of each show varied considerably but it allegedly out-rated ABC radio on a Monday night in the 9.00-9.30 time slot. The tapes are generally in good condition and some have been digitised.

Port Phillip Library Local History Oral History Collection
Description
110 cassette tapes created by the former South Melbourne and Port Melbourne Historical Society. They did not merge with any other society. The majority of recordings are from older members of the community describing their life and key events in the area. About half seem to be recorded presentations at the historical society meetings, not interviews. Some of the cassette tapes have dates and include the name of the speaker of interviewer/s but there is limited metadata available about the interview beyond the name of the speaker.
In addition, 20 digital mp3 recordings on USBs in a drawer in Heritage Centre staff room. File name includes the name of interviewee and year, sometimes full date. Some of the names are the same as on the cassette tapes. The digital tapes seem to be mostly interviewed by a local history librarian and constitute a separate project to the majority of the cassette tapes by the South Melbourne and Port Melbourne historical society. Only two of the digital interviews have slates so the interviewer is mostly unknown.

No current outputs that I am aware of however library staff member whose role includes curating and providing guides in our popular Guided Walks program is interested in hearing the 1985 tape "How Emerald Hill was saved" with guest speaker Reg Macey at a 11 July South Melbourne - Port Melbourne Histocial and Preservation Society meeting as they are doing a walking tour around public housing "Housing the People of South Melbourne" later in the year.
Other Info
These tapes were found in an unmarked drawer in a locked 'Local History Room' in Port Melbourne Library/town Hall complex. The room suffered from dampness three years ago when the roof of the Town Hall roof collapsed. The next 6 months we'll be launching a 'digitisation station' for cassette tapes. This will be available to the public to convert cassettes from analogue to digital. We aim to make reasonable efforts to identify and contact rights holders before converting making oral histories accessible online e.g., through raising with three existing historical societies in Port Phillip, through library and historical society newsletters. the online catalogue will have takedown provisions. Then convert the tapes to digital and make them accessible on a new module Spydus Archives, which will be searchable on the public library catalogue. Work is being done on the development of a long-term digital preservation strategy and as advised by the IT team will require investment beyond the library’s existing capacity.
The launch and maintenance of an accessible digital collection requires: Dedicated staff time for rights clearance, metadata creation, and cataloguing, ongoing maintenance of digital files and public access systems as well as a sustainable model for curation and care of growing digital content. Without increased staff support or collaboration across Council departments (e.g. with Records, IT and state and national bodies, the risk of neglect or deterioration of the digital collection remains significant. As convenor of the Local Studies Special Interest Group, I am coordinating a professional visit to the State Library of Victoria’s Digitisation area in September. This visit aims to build sector knowledge around scalable and sustainable practices for community-based digitisation projects. Insights from this tour will inform local advocacy and planning.

Description
The Museum’s oral history collection comprises over 700 recorded interviews on cassette tape, along with printed transcripts and, in some cases, summaries. Key themes explored in the collection include the role of women, migration, and local industries such as munitions work, the Sunshine Harvester Works, and chaff mills.

Collection Information
Collection Purpose
The purpose of the oral history collection at Melbourne’s Living Museum of the West is to document and preserve the lived experiences, memories, and voices of communities in Melbourne’s west. As a community-driven ecomuseum, the Museum is committed to capturing the region’s social, industrial, and environmental histories through stories and knowledge that are often intangible and otherwise at risk of being lost. The oral history collection plays an important role in this mission, serving as a key component of the Museum’s evolving public collection. By gathering first-hand accounts (through interviews, transcripts, and recordings) the Museum aims to support communities and audiences to meaningfully connect with, reflect on, and better understand the past, present, and future of this diverse and dynamic region.

Outputs
Melbourne’s Living Museum of the West has drawn on its oral history collection across more than four decades of community-engaged practice. The collection has informed a wide range of outputs, including books, exhibitions, public programs, interpretive materials, and digital resources. It has also been accessed by external researchers, artists, and community groups for independent projects. Key examples inlcude "The Lifeblood of Footscray: Working Lives at the Angliss Meatworks (1986)," edited by Chris Healy, a publication developed directly from oral history interviews, and the Pipemakers Park Audio Trail, which features edited excerpts from interviews and is integrated into interpretive signage throughout Pipemakers Park in Maribyrnong. The Museum’s collection has also supported numerous artist-led and community history projects, many of which have generated pamphlets, audio works, and exhibitions. Given the community-driven nature of the Museum and the longstanding use of oral histories in its programming, the collection has been foundational to the Museum’s creative and historical output for more than forty years.

The Student Chronicles (Miegunyah Press, 2006).
When the book came out I did a lot of interviews (radio and print) and some writers' festival appearances so there are likely to be other records in media archives etc.

Other Info
I am still in contact with nearly all the people interviewed (most of them were my close friends at the time I interviewed them) and I plan to contact them about completing a retrospective consent form that would ask for permission for other/future uses / archiving of the material.
I started digitising the tapes myself at home but they are not fantastic quality, partly because the cassette playback machine I was using was not the one I originally recorded on and the speed is slightly different. I have adjusted the speed in my audio editing software but all in all, this is not archival quality digitisation! It's me figuring out how to do it so that I have a backup.

Accountable Person
Collection Information
Collection Purpose
Many of the veterans from these actions have been reticent to tell their stories due to their treatment on return from service. As these generations are getting older, it has become important to ensure that this part of Bendigo's military history is on record. To have the veterans tell the story in their own voice and their own words is even more important - it means that we have their story exactly as they experienced it.

Collection Information
Collection Purpose
The Oral History program was created to identify, collect, record and document the experiences of significant individuals who have been involved in Melbourne Royal and Victorian agriculture in various ways. In particular it presented an opportunity to capture important information from a group of key individuals whose decades of knowledge, experience and understanding of both agriculture and Melbourne Royal would have been lost had action not been taken.

Other Info
The collection is saved across two hard drive for now, but given the size of the files, we've had some difficulty resourcing the production of adequate back ups that also have adequate ways to document their save location. We are also uncertain about whether we will be able to keep up with potential technological changes over the next fifty years.
Accessibility has also been an issue, as recordings have not been adequately reviewed and edited to be suited to a public platform. We have been able to share them by request on an individual basis.

About
Name
Research & Reference Material for 'The Tech A Centenary History of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology'
Description
117 cassette tapes of oral interviews and reminiscences by former RMIT University students and staff made by Anthony John Dare and others, their related transcripts, summaries of interviews and additional research material compiled by Dare. Recordings were made in the 1970s and 1980s.
Author
Accountable Person
Collection Information
Collection Purpose
Interviews recorded by Anthony John DARE during his research for the publication of 'The Tech'. Dr Dare, who worked as a senior lecturer at RMIT from 1968 to 1989 in the field of Education, wrote the second part of the 'The Tech' under the title 'Working Men's College to Institute of Technology 1930 - 1981'. It is most likely, however, that a considerable proportion of this material also relates to his thesis titled 'Working Men's College to Institute of Technology 1930 - 1970', that was accepted by the University of Melbourne.
It is not clear as to how the RMIT Library came to receiving this material but most likely donated by Anthony John Dare. It must be noted that the RMIT Archives was not established until several years after Mr Dare's terminated employment.

City of Boroondara Centenarians Oral History Project
Description
Way Back When worked with the City of Boroondara on an oral history project for centenarians living in the municipality. Ten centenarians were interviewed, and their personal stories were written into narrative profiles based on the transcripts of their interviews. Eight profiles were exhibited at the Hawthorn Town Hall during the Boroondara Seniors Festival in October 2018, alongside sketch portraits of each centenarian, drawn by artist (and later Archibald Prize winner) Peter Wegner.
Subject
Accountable Person
Collection Information
Collection Purpose
The aim of the project was to record the reminiscences and stories of people who have lived through periods of enormous change and witnessed significant events in the history of Australia and their local area. Oral history was seen as a powerful way of connecting with centenarians and recognising their diverse contributions to the community over a significant period of time. The collection of profiles and accompanying portraits were exhibited to share these stories with the broader community.

Memories of Yallourn
Description
This project records the stories of power industry workers and their families relating to Victoria’s first brown coal generated power station at Yallourn that was established in 1921 and the State Electricity Commission of Victoria's model company town of Yallourn which was completely razed to the ground by the 1980s to allow forfurther mining. The project also records the memories of the Yallourn Medical and Hospital Society, one of the first contributory health schemes to operate in Australia. In 1926 Dr James Moore Andrew took the position of the Society’s first resident medical officer and with his wife Catherine Dorothy Andrew established a family at Yallourn, practising at Yallourn Hospital and lived in Yallourn until his death in 1972. Twenty individual audio interviews were carried out with Yallourn workers and recorded in their homes along with photographs. These are now stored in mp3 audio files on Old Gippstown computers.

Collection Information
Collection Purpose
1. Preservation of the history of the region and especially of the township of Yallourn which was removed in the 1980s to make way for additional coal mining
2. Reinvigoration of displays will lead to further visits to Old Gippsland and to increased tourist spending in the region
3. Increased knowledge of the power industry, the township of Yallourn and surrounding towns, the provision of health care for SECV workers and their families, and of labour and migrant history
4. Increased sense of pride in heritage and identification with that past, as well as increased sense of unity through knowledge of shared background
5. Retention of resources within the community, with recordings being lodged in the Yallourn house at Old Gippstown and on the Old Gippstown buildings website, as well as at Moe and District Historical Society. This will strengthen the sense of ownership of the past and ensure ease of access by local residents and researchers.

The bulk of our collection is still in reasonable condition, as far as we can tell. This collection of around 160 tapes is a mixture of transcribed and untranscribed. Around half have been digitised. However, we have inherited several cassette tapes from the 80s which are badly degraded, and attempts to find a restorer have proved unsuccessful so far. Our collection is well stored.

Interviews to celebrate Mordialloc Primary School's 125th Anniversary
Description
Interviews of past students, parents and teachers at Mordialloc Primary School recorded on cassettes in 1993, beginning with the then oldest surviving student 90 year old Alf Groves and ending with an interview of the first female Principal Joy Gale 1975-1981. The cut off date coincided with the first Federal Government money given
to public primary schools by the Whitlam Government.
Questions related to Mordialloc Primary School and life at particular times. Each person signed a release that the interviews could be used for educational purposes to preserve the history of the school.

Collection Purpose
I was a volunteer parent who initiated the project. (I have a double history major from ANU in 1970s). I attended an oral history workshop at Benga House, Heritage Hill Museum Dandenong to get some tips, bought the cassette tapes and borrowed a microphone from a friend plus a tape recorder with foot control for editing. I have original raw tapes plus edited ones used for the school's 125th Celebration where I set up listening posts in the school hall for people to listen to the recordings. I applied for funding to do more with the tapes, perhaps publish a book but no one was interested. However, I think the tapes are historically important and should be kept and made available for anyone interested and nowadays they need to be digital. I need help to digitise and also want to be sure they will be valued and looked after.

Oral history was a particular interest of mine and I also have some selected interviews with friends and family. However the series for Mordialloc Primary's 125th Celebration is an important historical collection with
perspectives from students, parents, cleaners, teachers ,and principals with the World Wars and Depression mentioned, polio epidemic, transition from horse to car, encounters with Pharlap (Mordialloc Primary had special dispensation to keep students to 14 years of age because those wanting to be jockeys did not intend going to high school.) At the time Mordialloc Primary was under threat of closure by the Kennett Government, I was told anything I did had to be 'cost negative' therefore I paid for all the cassettes, photographs, developing and photocopying etc.

About
Name
Linton and District Historical Society Oral History and Audio Collection
Description
Our oral history collection is in three parts:
1. A set of approximately 30 audio cassette tapes, which are recordings of interviews and informal discussions conducted with Linton residents or former residents during the 1980s and early 1990s.
2. A set of approximately 17 CD recordings of interviews with Linton residents or former residents, conducted as part of PhD research undertaken by LDHS President Jill Wheeler, in 2005 and 2006. Jill donated these recordings to the Historical Society after she completed her research.
3. Approximately 12 audio-visual recordings on DVDs. These are recordings of talks given at LDHS 'History Nights' between 2012 and 2022. Speakers were all Linton residents or former residents, who outlined their particular family's history in Linton township and district, and recalled aspects of life in Linton as they were growing up.

Collection Information
Collection Purpose
The Linton & District Historical Society was established in 1981, and motivation for the original interviews was the realisation that many Linton 'identities' had knowledge and stories to tell that would be lost if they were not documented or recorded.
Later interviews were conducted as part of research, and talks given at LDHS 'History Nights' were filmed as a means of preserving information presented.

Occasionally information from the recordings is used in articles in our Society's newsletter, 'Society Notes'. e.g. information from one of the DVDs was used in the article "Another eyewitness account of adventures on the Linton school train", in Society Notes no. 316, August 2022.
The same issue of SN also had an article on a Linton 'identity', Tom Andrews (1879-1937). Some information in this article had been confirmed by listening to an interview on one of the CDs.

Other Info
Since we began to listen to and summarise the contents of these recordings (we have done this intermittently since about 2018) they are proving invaluable as a source of information about Linton's people and history, often providing new stories, and confirming information established through other research.

We have been working to try and turn our collection of cassette tapes, magnetic tapes, film of various sizes from as far back as the 1990's when CD's were introduced. Our photos were first scanned to CD by a dedicated volunteer but we still receive an amazing number of photographs either digital or actual and struggle to keep our data bases etc up to date. We are still struggling to keep up with the new technology.

Our oral history work is ongoing with volunteers continuing to record the lives of Yiddish speakers in Melbourne. As we approach our 120th Anniversary we would love to be able to share them with the local and global Yiddish community and others.
As a small precariously funded community organisation we struggle to continue gathering these unique stories.
We have funding from the Publc Records Office Victoria for preserving our archive (including our oral histories) and making it accessible.

Stories from Kiewa Valley Communities
Description
A collection of reminiscences of older community members of their lives and family stories from previous generations
Subject
Author
Accountable Person
Collection Information
Collection Purpose
To record the life of colonial European settlers from the mid 1800s in the Gundowring region of the Kiewa Valley. Decedents of many early settlers are still living in the valley, but it was recognised that many of these family members are aging and younger generations are moving away. It was felt important to capture these stories before it was too late. With support from a PROV grant, the Gundowring group is in the process of recording 12 interviews. The plan is to lodge the recordings and transcripts (as yet completed) with the Kiewa Valley Historical Society on completion of the project at the end of 2026.

The Breath of the Wok: Melbourne's early Chinese Restaurants
Description
These oral histories are part of a thesis "THE BREATH OF THE WOK: MELBOURNE’S EARLY CHINESE RESTAURANTS" that explores Melbourne’s Chinese restaurants and their relationship with the city from the late 1900s to the early 1950s. Apart from acknowledgement and commentary in historical recipe books by Chinese
Australians, these businesses are dismissed in a line or two whenever new culinary and general histories appear. Recorded as socially isolated and frequented by prostitutes, gamblers, drunks and other unrepresentative social groups, they are recorded as ‘uncomfortable’ places for respectable non-Chinese Melburnians to patronise. Despite almost continuous growth from the late nineteenth century, they do not gain currency until the 1950s when they come to the fore as part of the post-war socio-cultural and economic success story.
