Voices of the Hunter
During the 1970s and 1980s, eminent local historian John W. (Jack) Delaney recorded many interviews of people from the coalfields area of the Hunter Valley. These interviews were recorded on audio cassette tapes which were held by the Coalfields Heritage Group, now the Coalfields Local History Association Inc who have worked with us to digitise these tapes and to make them available to the world. The original cassette tapes are currently stored at Special Collections in the University of Newcastle Library.
Our other partner in this endeavour is Coal & Allied Operations Pty Ltd who has provided a generous grant towards the work via the Coal & Allied Community Development Fund.
