The Bringing Them Home oral history interviews are being made available online in consultation with the people interviewed or their nominated next of kin, if locatable. Some interviewees have chosen not to make their interviews available online because of their sensitive content, and a small number of interviews appear in a lightly edited form. All edited interviews are clearly marked.
You can access all of the online Bringing Them Home interviews through the National Library's catalogue.
