Liverpool City Council and Oral History NSW and Royal Australian Historical Society - Oral History project
Supporter
This project was supported by Liverpool City Council, Oral History NSW and the Royal Australian Historical Society through the Heritage Branch of the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage. For this project, oral historian Margo Beasley worked with the Heritage Collection at the Liverpool City Library to capture excerpts of interviews with local people reminiscing about the area. The interviews were recorded in 1986 for Liverpool City Library's 'Looking Back at Liverpool: An Oral History of the Liverpool Region from 1900 to 1960' project.
