Gawler Oral History
A shared history is what binds us together as communities, and the Gawler Oral History Project (GOHP) is dedicated to uncovering our shared history and creating a record of the lives of the people of Gawler.
Supported by the Gawler Community Broadcasting Association Inc. (GBA), the Gawler Oral History Project began in 2016 with an aim to preserve stories, experiences and ideas – from the past, the present and for the future – and to create a resource for families, locals, amateur historians and academic researchers to discover more about our shared past.
The Gawler Oral History Project is built by and for the people of Gawler
As the oldest settlement in the state of South Australia outside Adelaide, Gawler is filled with memories that can help us see where we come from, how we got here, and where we can go. The stories and experiences of our locals can help us see who we are, how we are connected, and what we share as a community.
