Created in partnership with Wollongong Library for History Week 2024, an exhibition of forty images showing life of Illawarra’s migrant settlers and refugees from diverse cultural backgrounds.

The photos from private collections held by the Migration Heritage Project capture the life and times of a number of migrant groups that migrated to Wollongong after WWII and the stories behind them form an integral part of Wollongong’s history.

The launch will be held in conjunction with the Wollongong City Libraries announcement of winner and runner up of the Local History Prize 2024.

Admission is Free
