The AHWA team will visit Morawa, Yalgoo, Mount Magnet, Meekatharra, Cue, Mullewa and Geraldton between Monday, 4 August and Friday, 8 August 2025, to provide historical research services and help Aboriginal people access records about themselves and their ancestors.
Delivered alongside the State Library's Storylines program, these sessions are an opportunity for Aboriginal people to learn about their family history, access historical photographs, and engage with AHWA's truth-telling projects.
The AHWA team are experienced researchers from the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sports, who assist Aboriginal people in accessing historical State Government records about themselves and their ancestors in a culturally secure manner.
The Storylines archive, managed by the State Library, is an online platform featuring more than 12,000 photographs and historical documents. It helps Aboriginal people explore and connect with family and community histories in a culturally safe space.
