Brief description Australian generations: life histories, generational change and Australian memory. As the nation faces dramatic social and environmental change, understanding diverse experiences and memories of Australia's past becomes increasingly important. This project will strengthen Australia's social and economic fabric by explaining the experience, memory and significance of the past for different Australian generations. Sixty national radio programs will make the research widely accessible. Future researchers and educators will benefit from unprecedented online access to an immensely rich national oral history collection. The National Library, ABC, university partnership will ensure that professional innovation in radio history, oral history and digital archiving is cascaded to cultural institutions in Australia and abroad.
