Details

Description

The Margaret Henry Oral History Archive is a collection of audio tapes, transcripts, summaries and essays that were part of the Oral Histories Open Foundation Course (1986-1989). Margaret Henry was a history lecturer at the UON in the 1980s.

The oral history tapes have been digitised and made freely available to the wider global research community thanks to the generosity of The Vera Deacon Regional History Fund.

SummaryInterview by Cathy Abra with Mildred Storer in 1988 about early education and open Foundation Studies in Newcastle. Mildred was born Mildred Deason in Melbourne in 1914, her parents were keen naturalists and gold fossickers, her great grandfather found the largest gold nugget in the world. She married in Hay, NSW and moved to Newcastle during WWII, had three children and held a position at Lysaght's Pty Ltd in Mayfield where she was editor of the Lysaght Gazette. After retiring from work she completed the Open Foundation Course in 1981 studying philosophy and english. She completed a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Newcastle, graduating in 1987 and believes there are more career opportunities available to women today and that they should follow their instincts and not feel they have to copy men to achieve success.
