Rocky Hill War Memorial Museum will be holding an exhibition on local experiences of the Vietnam War, opening April 2024.
Museum staff are currently working to gather personal accounts of the Vietnam era from Goulburn and District Service Personnel, or people who lived in Goulburn and surrounding districts during the war.
The Vietnam War was the first conflict to be televised into peoples' homes – and it was fought alongside tumultuous social and cultural change.
If you were a conscript or an enlistee; a conscientious objector; a family member of a service person; an Anti-war protestor; or have any key memories of living in Goulburn during the war - we are interested in hearing from you. The way in which your memories are managed will be determined by you and with sensitivity.
You can remain Anonymous if you wish.
You can Embargo your memories to be made available at a future date.
You can share your memories as part of the Exhibition.
One of the key roles of the museum is to capture and tell local stories.
All memories deposited with the museum will be preserved into the future, and where permission is given, will be shared with people who research family or regional war history.
There are several ways in which you can share your story; via an oral history interview, by submitting a written memory, or by donating photos, memorabilia or military objects.
