Ashton's Circus Archives

With over 160 years in Australia, the Ashton dynasty not only encapsulates the evolution of Australian circus but is a record of the changes in society and trends throughout the development of Australia as a nation. Sixth and seventh generation Ashton family members Chantel Rodriguez and Atiana Lopez are endeavoring to digitize the Ashton family's extensive personal and professional collection of video media and bring this valuable resource to the general public as well as extended family, friends, historians and circus enthusiasts throughout Australia and the world.
