Through oral history recordings we hear the intimate stories of everyday lives, and we create histories that challenge orthodoxy and speak truth to power. Oral history drills beneath the big histories of state, society and politics, and illuminates ordinary people’s extraordinary lives.

The 2019 Biennial Oral History Australia Conference takes place in our 40th anniversary year. Oral History Queensland and Oral History Australia are presenting the conference, in partnership with State Library Queensland.

We are currently accepting proposals for the 2019 conference. The closing date is now 8 March 2019.

Find out more about the Call for Presentations and how to submit a proposal. Go to the Call for Presentations page.
