This is a collection of records collected for the Queensland Women in War Exhibition in 1995, as part of the general 'Australia Remembers' project.
It consists of transcripts of women's stories about their experiences of World War II, in photocopies and typescripts. Envelopes hold stories posted by women in four different Queensland regions: Ipswich, Mackay, Townsville and Brisbane. The collection also contains a photocopy of an unpublished history of Voluntary Aid Detachments in Queensland.

The John Oxley Library is in temporary accommodation until 2006. Most material is kept off-site. Researchers wishing to use the manuscript collection should contact the research librarian prior to visiting the library to confirm the availability of the material.
