Eastside Community Heritage (ECH)

Eastside Community Heritage uses digital storytelling and the creative arts to engage youth and communities in oral history and heritage.

Since 1999 we have worked with over 20,000 beneficiaries, delivered over 2000 reminiscence sessions, trained over 800 volunteers and worked with hundreds of communities to record, share and preserved their hidden histories and life experiences. We aim is to bring communities together and create a better understanding of people’s history.

The Hidden-Histories Archive was established in 1999 by ECH and contains irreplaceable oral history recordings of approximately 4000, the majority of the collection tells the peoples history in their own word preserved for future generations.
