Hulda Beckley Fitzsimons: World War II as Experience and Memory
No full textThis interview is an oral history conducted by Dr. Rachel Schley, assistant professor of history at Linfield College, and Ruby Guyot, Linfield class of 2019, with Hulda (Beckley) Fitzsimons, Linfield class of 1944. The interview took place at Fitzsimons’s home on April 19, 2019.
Hulda Fitzsimons attended Linfield from 1940 to 1941, just before the outbreak of World War II. She grew up on a fruit farm in Salem, working the land with her family. Upon graduation from high school, Fitzsimons was unsure of her next steps until her uncle suggested that she should attend Linfield College. In this interview, Fitzsimons talks in detail about her living conditions at the girls co-op, as well as the classes she took and her employment at the movie theater. At Salem High, Fitzsimons had to compete with everyone for opportunities due to the large class size, whereas at Linfield she found the smaller student body size was less segregated by cliques and offered her many opportunities. At Linfield, she met her husband, who was stationed at Fort Stevens and was eventually deployed to Europe near the end of the war. After her first year, she did not have enough funds to continue at the college. She kept busy however, working at the shipyards, as a clerk at Safeway, as a key punch operator, and at her family’s fruit farm. Once the war ended, she and her husband had children; she notes that she loved being a homemaker. After her husband graduated, they moved around a lot to follow her husband’s various teaching opportunities, eventually settling in Beaverton, Oregon

Time and Tide: The Life of Norman Creek
No full textBACKGROUND: This is the signature documentary of a broader creative research project on the history and ecology of Norman Creek in inner city Brisbane, funded by Brisbane City Council. It forms part of the emerging field of exhibition-focused documentary, consistent with Andrea Witcomb's (2004) argument that digital media are central to the proliferation of exhibiting institutions in the 21st Century. It contributes to the field of environmentally focused social history and asks what the history of an urban place looks like when viewed from the perspective of waterways rather than land. It demonstrates Yi Fu Tuan's classic aphorism (1977) that Space plus History equals Place and in its various screening contexts demonstrates Bourriaud's (1998) relational aesthetics.
CONTRIBUTION: As personal documentary disappears from Australian public television and history gets taught to dwindling cohorts in formal education, this work innovatively finds new audiences and venues for audio-visual histories and documentaries. This work is based on substantial primary research, in a context where extant local histories ignore creek industries, inhabitants and stories. Alongside its companion work/s it explores new forms of parallel narrative.
SIGNIFICANCE: Its major sites of exhibition have been at events at the State Library of Queensland (Talking Water 2013); at Crane Arts, Philadelphia US; at the International River Symposium 2013 and online (Waterwheel 2013 - International Symposium on Water and Water arts) and the website of the Norman Creek Catchment Coordination Committee. This documentary's success at connecting with various public - both community and professional - underpinned a successful pitch to the Museum of Brisbane for a substantial in situ exhibition season (forthcoming June 2015).Full Tex
