Explore the journeys that have shaped our nation’s history in this exhibition.

Stories of migration are very much part of our national experience.

In many homes in Australia, you will find a bookcase, a mantelpiece or a shelf with a display of family photographs. These small intimate galleries chronicle the individuals, both young and old, who populate the family tree, sometimes the images reach back two or three generations.

Our Oral History collection includes recordings of original and traditional compositions performed by migrants, refugees and their descendants.

This collection-in-focus display contained highlights from the Library’s Joyce Evans Archive.
