From Engineering Heritage Australia

Oral Histories produced by Engineering Heritage Sydney are held by the State Library of NSW. All have been digitised.

Where available, the Biography of the interviewee, a subject and time Log of the interview, the Audio recording and a Transcript may be accesssed through the table below.

To access the Audio recording, it is necessary to hold a GOLD library card. Click on the Library Call Number in the Audio Column to make a request through the Ask a Librarian option on the the State Library NSW website. The digital file will be forwarded to you within the time frame set out by the library.
