In December 1997, in response to the first recommendation of the ''[[Bringing Them Home]]: Report of the National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from Their Families'' report, the [[Australian Government]] announced funding for the [[National Library of Australia|National Library]] to develop and manage an oral history project. The Bringing Them Home Oral History Project (1998–2002) collected and preserved the stories of [[Indigenous Australians]] and others involved in or affected by the child removals resulting in the [[Stolen Generations]].
