Aboriginal Family History

The Storylines Project connects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to the State Library of Western Australia's heritage, history and photographic collections. You can find, view and print thousands of photographs, as well as access a growing number of oral histories, documents, sounds and movies.

Storylines is assisting in the digital return of photos and other materials directly to families, communities and people. It is also helping the Library identify many of the photographs which are currently unidentified and unknown. At the session you will get a chance to have a look at old photos, share stories and possibly find images of your family.
