Our Work: Oral History

Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria Oral History Project

Over the past eight years Way Back When has been working with the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria (RASV) to develop a comprehensive oral history collection for its archive.

Since 2011 oral history interviews have been conducted with more than fifty individuals who have been involved in various aspects of RASV and, more specifically, the Royal Melbourne Show. Collecting these stories records and celebrates the valuable contribution and dynamic history of this strong and unique community. These stories have now been gathered and made available as part of the RASV Virtual Museum.
