- As
well as the public displays, the National
Pioneer Women's Hall of Fame is also collecting
stories and photographs of pioneering Australian
women. This information is being preserved in
what has become known as the Herstory Archive.
Eventually it will be catalogued and indexed and
with further funding will be accessible online.
Apart from preserving many often
previously-untold stories, the archive will be
useful for future researchers as well as
inspiration for exhibitions at the Hall of Fame.
-
- The
information comes to us through many avenues.
For example, our curator and volunteers research
and collect information often based on names
suggested by visitors. There is a book within
the exhibition for people to add their
suggestions of women whose stories should be
recorded.
