I have a passionate interest in oral history and in interviewing elderly people who have an interesting story to tell about their lives. If you know someone like that who lives in the Brisbane area or even a relative who has had an interesting life that you feel should be recorded, please contact me. I have done oral histories for my own family as well as other people, some of whom are listed below. I will continue to add to my collection.<br /><br />Suzanne Mulligan BA<br />Life Member Oral History Association of Australia<br /><br /><a href="mailto:%20mulligan@gil.com.au">Email me</a><br /><br />Note - this Blog is gradually been rebuilt from my former web site.

I am very disappointed that this happened and I must now find another "home" for my interviews. So I will be experimenting with this blog to see if this is an effective way to display my interviews.<br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6963337871750002445-386747745346307839?l=mulliganoralhistory.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Suzanne Mulliganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01189874157395072680noreply@blogger.com0
