About the speaker Jill Cassidy
Jill Cassidy has made an outstanding
contribution to the cause of oral history in Australia for almost 30 years,
undertaken both in a professional and voluntary capacity winning the Hazel de
Berg Award for Excellence in Oral History in 2015.
Working at
the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery (QVMAG) in Launceston, Jill
conducted oral histories which formed the basis of exhibitions to commemorate
Australia’s Bicentenary in 1988. She later authored a number of
publications including Launceston Talks: Oral Histories
of the Launceston Community. As a result of the project’s success in
documenting the history of northern Tasmania, Jill was appointed as the
Museum’s first Oral Historian. She went on to initiate, manage and conduct
further oral histories, exhibitions, publications and ran engaging and
successful public programs. Jill firmly established the Museum’s collection
and her commitment to recording and preserving interviews ensured the
collection continued to grow and that oral history became an integral part of
QVMAG exhibitions. Jill’s contribution here was exceptional. She was also a
member of the Editorial Committee for The Companion to Tasmanian
History.
Jill has played a central and critical role in Tasmanian oral history. She
continues to be the heart of Oral History Tasmania and has generously
mentored many Tasmanian Oral Historians.
