Oral history is a powerful way to capture and preserve the elusive history that is memory and lived experience. At Way Back When we are all trained oral historians and are skilled in interviewing and recording oral histories for future preservation, research and digital storytelling.

We work with organisations and major collecting institutions including the National Library of Australia and State Library Victoria, as well as local councils, communities, families and individuals to record oral histories for a variety of uses. Our interviews are recorded at broadcast quality to enable the material to be used for future digital applications.
