The Broken Hill Mirgrant Heritage Committee Inc |
The NSW Migration Heritage Centre has made a web exhibition version of the Council’s Broken Hill Migrant Museum exhibition Sharing the Lode.
Sharing The Lode is a celebration of the lives of people from non-English speaking backgrounds who have made Broken Hill their home since 1883. Seventy migrants from eleven nationalities shared their stories to make this exhibition a reality.
Share memories of their homeland, the reasons for migration, the journey, their first impressions of a contrasting land, employment opportunities, and hardships faced and overcome.
Join them as they retrace their life's journey of hope, courage, success and subsequent satisfaction in becoming cornerstones of the Broken Hill community.
This Broken Hill Migrant Heritage Committee Inc online exhibition was developed with assistance from the NSW Migration Heritage Centre, Powerhouse Museum and Community Relations Commission. It features excerpts from the permanent exhibition Sharing the Lode at the Migrant Museum, Sulphide Street, Broken Hill, New South Wales.
