CAN you help - Looking for objects and images in your collections from
first fleet to about 1850?

An exhibition is being developed here on Convict Women's experience with a
focus on Parramatta and the Parramatta Female Factory within the context of
other female factories in the colony and  convict women 'out in the
colony'. There is very little visual material showing female convicts or
relating to them or the female factories. Early objects made or produced by
Colonial women may also give a context. If you have any pictures, objects
or documents letting me know about them would help with the early stages of
this exhibition.

Also if you are working in the regions and there are community members who
are doing research on their Parramatta Female Factory ancestors that would
be helpful too.


Kind regards

Gay
