The fourth in a series of talks presented by the City of Boroondara Library Service
Hazel will present a session for those contemplating or doing their family histories.
She writes:
“recently, ‘family history’ surpassed stamp-collecting as the favourite hobby internationally. Many family historians did not originally set out to write a book. Initially they enjoyed collecting family letters, facts and memorabilia and then became interested in preserving their family’s past in a tangible way. Since most historians are looking for ‘why?’ things happened, there is a personal satisfaction in assembling the answer in a format which others will want to read. To do justice to your intriguing ancestors, in a non-boring way, is a challenge.”
Hazel Edwards is a Melbourne based author who writes books and scripts for children and adults.
This session is free, however bookings are essential.
When: Thursday 30 October at 7.30pm
Where: Hawthorn Library Meeting Room, 584 Glenferrie Road, Hawthorn
