Records
The Bringing Them Home Oral History Project ran from 1998 to 2002 and served to collect and preserve the stories of Indigenous people and others, such as missionaries, police and administrators involved in or affected by the process of child removals. Follow-up interviews with some of the original Bringing Them Home interviewees were conducted in 2010 after the national apology was issued in 2008.
