Diaspora: the Greek Migrant Experience in Queensland
Did you know that the word ‘diaspora’ is a Greek word meaning ‘dispersion’? 5 million Greeks are estimated to live in countries outside of Greece, and in the years after the Second World War, Australia became home to more than 350,000 Greek migrants in search of a better future. Join us to explore migrant selection documents, arrival records, and alien registration papers from the national archival collection that document the Greek migrant experience in Queensland.
Eve Terry is Manager of Public Engagement for the National Archives of Australia, Queensland. Eve’s experiences as a second-generation Greek Australian, have led to her choice of career and her passion for connecting people to their heritage through Australian Government records.
