About the project

A glimpse of the stories on Mosman faces…

Mosman Faces was made possible after a successful grant application, by the Local Studies section at Mosman Library, for a Library Council of NSW Library Development Grant in early 2010.

After momentary self congratulations on receiving a grant reality quickly set in and the hard work began!

The aim of Mosman Faces was to present a visual story of Mosman through filmed interviews complemented by scanned images of materials from Mosman’s Local Studies Collection.

Recreating a story requires much activity behind the scenes – gathering information, selecting materials and images, scanning images, setting up the website and of course the interviewing and filming.

Filming the interviews was conducted over a few weeks. The cameras rolled, the words flowed and the stories unique to Mosman were brought to life.

Like our already existing interactive website – Mosman Memories of Your Street – a place for past and present residents of Mosman to share memories of their street, Mosman Faces gives the audience an opportunity to respond, comment and share stories.

This interaction sustains community engagement in Mosman’s story, allowing greater access to, and increased awareness of, the Local Studies Collection for past, present and future generations.

Once the words and pictures were combined, a little music added and a logo designed, word was out and MosmanFaces.net was launched in late May 2011.
