Capturing our community - Are you are Fremantle local history advocate?
We are looking to form local history interest groups within Fremantle to actively engage the community and educate on the importance of community heritage. The purpose of these interest groups is to capture and collect present day happenings, development, and stories through various mediums (e.g. photographs, video, sound recordings, or text) to build our local history collection within our respective wards. To be part of this exciting initiative The City is looking for willing residents to volunteer to become Local History Advocates. To register your interest and learn more about this exciting project, please complete the online form here.
