The National Library's Oral History and Folklore Collection records the voices that describe Australia's cultural, intellectual and social life. Dating back to the 1950s, the collection contains around 55,000 hours of recordings, with more than 1,000 hours of interviews and music added each year.
With so much to discover, it might be hard to know where to start!
