Museum Mornings – Oral Histories and their importance for history
November 7 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Learn how to record oral histories from guest speaker Anne Yardley
We welcome a special guest speaker and Oral Historian, Annie Yardley for a talk on recording your family’s oral histories.
The museum has a large collection of Oral Histories, and these are some of the most important firsthand accounts of the history of the City and the people who lived here. Anne will be talking about the importance of oral histories, how to conduct a recording and the types of prompts and questions to ask.
Podcast equipment from the library will be onsite for you to try recording your own history.
Museum Mornings are held on the first Thursday of the month at the Subiaco Museum with a free morning tea provided.
Book now to join this free event for adults from 10 am to11.30 am to explore the museum collection and discover new artefacts with a different theme each month.
