Migrant heritage places

Bonegilla Migrant Centre, Victoria

Recognising places associated with the history of migration, and the contribution of successive migrants to our distinctive cultures and environments, is important in developing our ideas of cultural heritage.

Some places continue to hold special significance for migrants and their families - important places associated with worship, commemoration, work, schooling, eating or entertainment, places where significant cultural activities such as festivals are held, and places that recall important people or events.

The Australian Heritage Commission, with the help of several migrant groups, has developed an information kit called Migrant Heritage Places in Australia: How to Find Your Heritage Places. The kit can help migrant groups and people working with them to pinpoint the important places associated with a group.

The process described in the kit brings people together to share their stories and information, and shows them how that information can be used to protect or celebrate their special places.

Copies of the information kit and additional copies of the Guide are available from the Australian Heritage Commission, GPO Box 787, Canberra, ACT, 2601. Phone (02) 6274 2111.
