First Families 2001
The First Families 2001 pilot program funded by the State Library of
Victoria, was designed to draw together stories of Australian families to
celebrate the Centenary of Federation in 2001. This pilot program, with
content contributed by the public, became a significant and innovative
program marking the Centenary of Federation.
In acknowledgement of the contribution of the public to the First Families
2001 program, the State Library of Victoria has provided access to the
database via the Web in read-only format for an additional three years from
the conclusion of data entry on 31 December 2001.
This three year extension ends on 31 December 2004 and following recent
changes to privacy legislation and associated implications for First
Families 2001, the State Library will cease to provide access to the
database after this date.
