way back when - consulting historians

Way Back When was born fifteen years ago when Katherine Sheedy and Sarah Rood were studying the Master of Public History at Monash University. Enamoured with the idea of spending their professional lives working with people and the past, they took the first steps toward setting up the consultancy. By 2005 Way Back When had completed its first commission and had been engaged to carry out two more. The rest, as we like to say, is history. As well as commissioned histories Way Back When began to work on exhibitions, oral history projects, heritage reports and multimedia histories. Today we remain as committed as ever to representing the past in a meaningful and dynamic way. We are driven by the desire to foster connections to the past that inform and give meaning to the present.
