This document discusses using geolocation and audio walking tours to create self-guided local history tours. It notes that local history could be at risk without innovative solutions. The document proposes creating audio recordings with relevant equipment and software, and collaborating with the community to amplify underrepresented voices and stories. Partnerships could help provide skills and resources to develop the tours, with the goal of engaging the public in local history.

Editor's Notes
- #3: [The problem] Is local history doomed – to be boring, to be reactionary, to be a tool of ongoing colonialism, and is it doomed to be locked in local history rooms in libraries?
- #4: [Identifying the problem and possible solutions] Engaging the senses. Take local history out of the library. Make it grounded and interactive.
- #5: [Context] So, lets look at this a bit more. The City of Moreland is a local government area in the inner north-west that covers the Melbourne suburbs of Brunswick, Coburg, Pascoe Vale (named after one of the chief invaders of Kulin territory, John Pascoe Fawkner), Glenroy and Fawkner (yep, that’s him again).
- #6: [Context] The suburbs that make up Moreland have a proud history of working-class organising and activism.
- #7: [Looking for histories - Partnerships and content] Finding the stories for the project. Iain McIntyre – local historian. Jane Curtis – People’s Tours project 2007 3CR Community Radio Melinda Barry – University of Melbourne Archives
