Connect With Our Heritage & Culture

8 October - 17 December 2021

We Are Georges River is an outdoor exhibition that will tour multiple sites across our area from October to December. Featuring iconic photographs from our past as well as community collected images, the exhibition will celebrate the stories that make life in Georges River unique. An expanded collection of historic photographs and community stories will also be available online for you to explore. Follow this link for all exhibition dates and locations.
 

Share your story:

Help us tell the diverse story of our community by submitting a photo and short summary that shows your connection to the Georges River area. We are interested in old black and white photos from your family collection as well as images from the recent past and today as they all help us learn about our shared heritage. We would love to learn about:

• Your family history
• Raising a family or growing up in the area
• Running a small business
• Arriving here from overseas
• Your experience during the COVID pandemic

We have extended the submission deadline: If you would like your photo and your own unique story to be part of the touring exhibition please email us by Thursday 9 September. Remember you can donate photos for the We Are Georges River Project at any time, just get in touch with our library local studies team and we will add them to our digital collection and share them with the community.
