Interview material from Western Sydney women's oral history project: 'From farms to freeways: Women's memories of Western Sydney'

The project: 'From farms to freeways: Women's memories of Western Sydney' sought to capture the experiences of women who had lived in Blacktown and Penrith since the early 1950s, including their responses to social changes brought about by rapid suburbanisation in the Western Sydney region in the post-war period. This dataset consists of 34 audio recordings, the resulting interview transcripts, participant photographs, and project material.
