 The Saunders Family Archive is a rare and significant record of working class family life in Melbourne in the 20th century. Comprising objects, documents and photographs from the Saunders family home at 392 Williamstown Road, Port Melbourne, this archive (and the stories within it) are testament to the lived experience of a working class family in Melbourne at this time.

As a dispersed collection with records and objects held across a number of different institutions and collections, this online guide to the Saunders Family Archive aims to bring together and contextualise these items beyond the boundaries of the institutions in which they are held.

A key focus in the development of the Saunders Family Archive was on enabling multiple voices, stories and perspectives to be expressed in the description of the records. This guide contains insightful memories, stories and knowledge from the Saunders family, expressed and compiled into the fabric of the listing of records.
