Staff and volunteers are currently working on the next big exhibition at Goulburn’s Rocky Hill War Memorial Museum and they need your help.
Due to open on the 16th of December, the exhibition: Goulburn 1939-1945: A memoir of
service and the home front, will feature objects and related materials that explore the diversity of local stories and memories of WW2 – a war to which Goulburn made a substantial contribution both locally and in battle across Europe and the Pacific region.
As the last of the WWII generation passes, this exhibition will remember those from Goulburn and surrounding districts who served – and those who remained at home during a war that impacted Australian soil and seas more than any other.
Museum Coordinator, Kerry Ross, is seeking local family histories or community stories of service or of living through the war in Goulburn and surrounding districts.
Your memories will become part of the exhibition and will also be preserved at Rocky Hill War Memorial Museum for future generations.
Please send your memories or family histories of war service or home front experiences to museums@goulburn.nsw.gov.au
Alternatively, you can visit in person at Rocky Hill on Monday/Wednesday/Friday/Saturday or Sunday between 10am and 4pm to deliver your hand-written memories. Staff will also be available on these days and times to assist you if you wish to provide a verbal record.
