Dive For Your Memory – Queensland music stories.

Project: Dive For Your Memory – Queensland music stories.

Dr John Willsteed, 2024 John Oxley Library Fellow, State Library of Queensland

John's project developed a methodology for extending engagement with oral histories in institutional collections. Its intention was to create new knowledge about music in Queensland. It used the existing John Oxley Library collections and added to these collections by filming interviews with musicians from across the state.
