Attention: Oral History Queensland and Oral History Australia, in partnership with State Library of Queensland will be hosting the 2019 National Conference. See details here.
The Oral History Association is a non-profit body whose members practice and promote oral history. The aims of Oral History Australia [OHA] are:
1. to promote the practice and methods of oral history
2. to educate in the use of oral history methods
3. to encourage discussions on all aspects of oral history
4. to foster the preservation of oral history records
The national body was founded in Perth in July 1978 with the Queensland branch of the OHAA coming to life some time later. In Queensland we are now known as Oral History Queensland Inc. Queensland has three Oral History Australia Life Members – Sue Pechey 2007, Lesley Jenkins 2007, and Suzanne Mulligan 2009.
A copy of Oral History Queensland’s Constitution (based on the Model Rules) is here.
There are now associations in each state. ACT is incorporated into NSW Branch. NT is incorporated into SA Branch.
