Oaks Estate is an urban village in the ACT, 12 km from Canberra City centre, directly across the NSW border from Queanbeyan. The estate covers an area of approximately 40 hectares and is bound by the Molonglo River to the north, 'The Oaks' to the east and the Queanbeyan-Cooma railway to the south. It takes its name from 'The Oaks', an outstation of Duntroon established about 1835. The adjacent burial ground, in use from 1838 to 1846, is the oldest general, if unofficial, cemetery in the ACT.
In the second half of the 19th century and into the early Canberra development period, Oaks Estate housed several Queanbeyan industrial properties including a flour mill. The area was formally included in the Federal Capital Territory from 1911, but developmentally the Estate remained in a kind of No Man’s Land until the 1950s, with several unsuccessful attempts to return it to NSW, and even a petition to the Queen for improvement in basic services.
The Oaks Estate Living Memory Project began in 1991 as a seed project of the Arts Council of the ACT to document the history of the Oaks Estate Community. This initial grant produced the document What I’m Telling You Now is What I’m Going Through Now... Further grants from the Australia Council, Australian Folk Trust Inc and the ACT Heritage Grants helped develop the Oaks Estate Festival 1992, and further collection of information and recording of memories, and several exhibitions and presentations, such as Oaks Estate – A Portrait, December 1992 and June/July 1993 at Gorman House. A book, No Man’s Land was published in 1997 following a period of research by Karen Williams.
The collections consists of research papers, transcriptions and notes of oral history interviews and copies of photographs loaned for the project.
