TOPIC: MOMENTS IN MIGRATION: EXPLORING THE IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE IN IMAGES.
Eve Terry is Manager of Public Engagement for the National Archives of Australia, Queensland. Eve is passionate about connecting people to their heritage through Australian Government records.
The National Archives of Australia holds a rich photographic collection documenting the migrant experience - from the often long and tiring journey to Australian shores, to settling into life in their adopted communities. This seminar will chart the migrant story through images of life in migrant accommodations camps, migrants’ contributions to the workforce and participation in cultural life
in Australia.
