Episode 12 of the Public Records Office of Victoria podcast series Look history in the Eye "Finding Fanny Finch" shares an entertaining musical performance about 1850s goldfields businesswoman Fanny Finch.
Fanny Finch's legacy as a trailblazer for women's rights, and her courageous survival story as a single mother on the Castlemaine diggings, has only recently been uncovered.
The episode was recorded on International Archives Day 2023 at the Victorian Archives Centre. Performed by historian Kacey Sinclair, alongside Finch's descendants, Bill Garner and his daughter Alice, with accompanying music by Friends of Wendy Cotton.
Kacey’s research makes a welcome addition to the histories of people with African Australian ancestry.
