Calling all History Buffs

Do you have photos and/ or videos of barbershop in Australia from across the years?

I have begun teaching a class at Harmony Academy each year on the history of BHA. I already have a bunch of material such as all scores, some historic photos and videos, etc, but I want much more to be able to include in my class and hopefully a stand-alone video on the history of BHA that I will put together. Specifically what I’m looking for are photos and videos of

• Convention – especially early years– groups photos of the welcome dinner, mass sing, full audience during competition, any group photos that were taken, such as a Harmony College

• Medallist quartets and choruses

• Launching of clubs/ inaugural events (like first rehearsal)

• Trips/ concerts/ coaching visits etc – things that show a specific event in the history of your club, and therefore BHA

If you have any of these, please contact me at richard@reeve.com.au or 0411 519 851

Also, if you can digitise videos, please get in touch. We have a large number of videos (at least hundreds of hours) that are going to be lost forever when the physical videos deteriorate.

I look forward to hearing from you.
