Social histories of Holden in Australia

本计画旨在透过口述访谈与档案研究，探讨霍尔顿在二次大战后澳洲制造业的社会历史。它将把工人、工作场所文化和霍尔顿工厂所在的社区置于公司历史的中心。一个关键的重点将是评估霍尔顿最近向工人过渡到新工作提供的援助。该项目将制作100个口述历史，项目期间进行的采访和解释工作将纳入国家汽车博物馆的展览以及印刷和在线出版物。这些成果将增强我们对澳大利亚汽车传统和工作场所文化的理解。

This project aims to investigate the social histories of Holden’s manufacturing operations in Australia in the post-World War II (WW2) period through oral interviews and archival research. It will place workers, workplace culture, and the communities in which Holden’s factories were based at the centre of the company’s history. A key focus will be an evaluation of recent assistance provided by Holden to workers to transition to new jobs. The project will produce 100 oral histories and the interviews and interpretive work undertaken during the project will be incorporated into exhibitions at the National Motor Museum and print and online publications. These outcomes will enhance our understanding of Australia's automotive heritage and workplace culture.
