Speaker: Dr Rosalie Triolo OAM FRHSV
Topic: Local and international historical sources and resources you might not have used in local/family research
More of a practical workshop, Rosalie’s presentation seeks to build on participants’ existing thinking about peoples, places, perspectives and topics relevant to their preferred research and writing. The presentation will include a strong visual and audio set of ‘prompts’ to develop participants’ consideration of ‘wider contexts’; it will affirm and encourage sharing of the historical sources and resources that participants likely already use; and, it will conclude by recommending less commonly considered and valuable Victorian, Australian and international history ‘providers’. Participants will depart with fresh ways forward for research, writing and non-traditional forms of presenting family, local and wider Australian histories.
