The Home Curator - a WorkShop - Caring for your Family History Collection

The Parramatta Female Factory Friends has grown out of community action to protect, conserve and bring the Parramatta Female Factory to all Australians. We do this through advocacy, site monitoring, female factory research, tours, talks, education activates and celebrations.

Workshops at the Parramatta Female Factory

The Parramatta Female Factory Friends runs Workshops throughout the year. Each workshop is different and can be from craft  to hands on skills workshops e.g. learning family history, using technology for colonial research - specialising on female convicts

Whether you are a family historian, a private collector or just have special objects you want to know how to care for, there is something in this workshop for you. Learn about organising, preserving and sharing to a professional standard, ensuring your collection of papers or photos or objects, survives. Bring along small items (or images if items/s are too large) for professional advice and clues to the best ways to identify and care for them. Gay Hendriksen is currently the President, of Parramatta Female Factory Friends and Coordinator of the Friends Research Centre. Gay has over 36 years of experience working in museums in the regional gallery context including Penrith Regional Gallery, Norman Lindsay Gallery and Parramatta Heritage Centre. She is a writer and researcher with a passion for female history and convict women’s history in particular.
