1049 Family History Community History
23rd July 2024
By Engagement Committee
Studies in family, local and community history inevitably become intertwined as researching one’s family leads to greater understanding of local and community histories—and vice versa.
The aim of our conference is to promote better understanding of this interplay; to help and encourage family historians to make greater use of local and community resources to enrich their family stories; and to encourage family historians to share their family stories within communities.
Join us as our three speakers discuss aspects of using family and local and community history together to better understand the lives of our ancestors.
Our speakers:
Professor Paul Ashton - professor of public history and co-founder of the Australian Centre for Public History at the University of Technology Sydney.
Ms Jo Callaghan - a graduate of the Diploma of Family Historical Studies (SAG), and Convenor of the Writers Special Interest Group at Family History ACT.
Mr Peter Lacey - President of the South Coast History Society.
