About Us

From the Stolen Generations’ Testimonies Foundation
​
The ‘Stolen Generations’ Testimonies’ project is an initiative to record on film the personal testimonies of Australia’s Stolen Generations Survivors and share them online. The Stolen Generations' Testimonies Foundation hopes the online museum will become a national treasure and a unique and sacred keeping place for Stolen Generations’ Survivors’ Testimonies. Thank you to those Survivors for their generosity of spirit in sharing their testimonies with us in our first round of interviews.

The History of the Project
The Stolen Generations' Testimonies foundation was established in 2007. Rio Tinto Aboriginal Fund financed a feasibility study which confirmed the viability of capturing the stories of Stolen Generations' Survivors on film for an online audience. With the benefit of the study the foundation was successful in gaining financial support from the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs and the Hunt Foundation. This funding allowed the development of the online museum and the first round of interviews displayed here.

Thank You to our Supporters
The Stolen Generations’ Testimonies Foundation would like to thank the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, the Hunt Foundation and the Rio Tinto Aboriginal Foundation who all gave generously to the pilot program to make it possible. We would also like to thank the Accor hotel chain for their assistance.
