Creative Director of the Centenary of Canberra Robyn Archer AO has encouraged members of the Tasmanian community who have visited, lived, worked or studied in Canberra to feature as part of the national capital’s 100th Birthday.
Current Hobart residents are encouraged to gather at the State Library of Tasmania tomorrow (September 21) where they can record short (5 min) films sharing their stories, memories and experiences of Canberra.
The films will then be uploaded to http://www.canberradiaspora.com.au.
Students, politicians, public servants, doctors, musicians and other professionals who have had contact with the national capital are encouraged to make a short visit to the State Library.
The State Library of Tasmania is located on Murray Street in Hobart.
The site and its unique catalogue of stories will become part of the National Library of Australia’s collection for permanent storage at the end of 2013 and will create a piece of history that can be enjoyed in years to come.
A professional film crew will be located at the State Library of Tasmania between 10am-1pm and 2pm-4pm.
