INTRODUCTION
On A Shoestring: The Depression
& 1930s in Manly, Mosman, Pittwater and Warringah is an oral history
project undertaken between January 2000 and October 2001.
72 people were interviewed who had been living in Manly,
Mosman, Pittwater and Warringah during the 1930s.
The outcome of this project was a rich archive of interviews. From this,
Paula Hamilton (Associate Professor of History at University of Technology, Sydney) has written ‘Cracking Awaba, Stories of Mosman and
Northern Beaches communities during the Depression’. The complete interviews on CD and the book are available
for loan at Manly, Mosman, Pittwater, and Warringah libraries.
This website has been developed to provide information
about the project and insight into some of the stories recorded during
the project. A selection from these stories can be found in the About
the Project and Interviews sections.
For further information about the
project see Links.
