Aus oral history ventures

A quick Google search for oral history video on Aus pages yields a number of interesting sites. One of the most polished is the Redfern Oral History site run by Redfern Residents for Reconciliation:
http://www.redfernoralhistory.org/
The community stories surrounding the Block come via video, sound, photo and design, with the site featuring lots of great links and mainstream media excerpts.
As we are now up to considering tagging more closely, it is clear that all the YouTube clips have clustered round their tags of 'Redfern', 'the Block', 'Aboriginal', 'Settlement' and 'Sydney' plus their originating link 'From: redfernoralhistory '
The Australian Centre for Oral History: http://www.acoh.com.au/whystorytelling.html seems to have lain dormant since 2006, but has a wide range of contributions. The Oral History Association of Australia set up an attractive website in 2007 and features a great link to nationally recorded holdings of oral history material: http://www.nla.gov.au/ohdir/index.html
Part of the National Library holdings, the 'Post-war Chinese Australians Oral History Project', grew out of research in Darwin in 1990 by Diana Giese. Then, as she says "the project spread naturally to north Queensland and Western Australia, to Sydney, Melbourne and Bendigo. It also became clear that those of Chinese background who came here originally as students, from places like Malaysia in the 1960s, or as Boat People from Vietnam from the mid-70s, were also very much part of the post-War Chinese Australian community. These newer arrivals' stories have now been incorporated into the project with others; voices from Hong Kong and Fiji, for instance, and those of intellectuals who came from China post-Tian'anmen."
The 'Voices and Memory' link takes us to a National Library page still under construction that features numbers of oral history projects: http://www.nla.gov.au/events/oralhist/
The page intends to offer links, conference papers and contributions from online seminar discussion, but the seminaar is dated 1997. Unfortunately the content is strictly non interactive and print based.
The Redfern project is certainly taking the greatest advantage of new style information media and arts input.
