Accessing the interviews
The Bringing Them Home oral histories are of enormous historical significance and thanks to additional funding received from the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs in 2009/10, the Library is now able to provide access to many of the interviews online. The funding has also enabled the Library to schedule follow-up interviews with some of the original Bringing Them Home interviewees in 2010.
