Wagga Wagga Women’s Wireless and the Web: local studies and new technologies

Abstract

The coming of the Web and the ease with which on-line history projects can be established has seen a wave of popular history websites that encourage personal reflections on an organisation or event from anyone with an opinion. This paper looks at one such project, established by Wagga Wagga City Library, to record memories of Radio Station 2WG's Women's Club which flourished in the Riverina area from the 1930s to the early 1960s, providing a valuable information and entertainment resource to this rural and regional community.
