The history of the Gallipoli Tuna Fishery is not only in books; it lives in our homes, in grandparents' memories and in the stories of those who lived at sea.
We are building the digital archive and shaping the path of the future Gallipoli Tuna Fishery Multimedia Museum. We want this museum to be the collective story of an entire community.
Whether it is an old yellowed photo, a ledger, a letter, a worn fishing tool or an oral memory passed down through the family, your material will make a difference.
