Thank you to everyone who attended our AGM recently in October.
It was a welcome opportunity to review Oral History NSW’s activities in the past year as well as look ahead to our future plans for 2025.

At the AGM we announced the winners of our two conference grants for presenters
attending the Biennial Oral History Australia Conference in person:

Jennifer Macey: Jennifer is a Phd candidate at the university of Wollongong and her presentation is titled “Listening Geographies–the risks and possibilities of recording oral history in a ‘place” looking at podcasting as a potential methodology for oral history
Venerable Jue Fang: Nan Tien Temple's 30th Anniversary Oral History Project – the project looks to preserve the spiritual, cultural, and historical legacy of one of the Southern Hemisphere's largest Buddhist temples Nan Tien located in Wollongong.

We look forward to hearing more from our award recipients in 2025 about their experiences attending and presenting at the conference!
