Footprints: the journey of Lucy and Percy Pepper

Footprints presents the story of Lucy and Percy Pepper and their children through transcriptions of public records held by Public Record Office Victoria (PROV) and the National Archives of Australia (NAA). Through a selection of correspondence, family photographs and other documents, the publication provides an informative and intimate portrait of the Pepper family as they struggled to live independent lives.

The publication is an example of how researchers can use government records to retrace family connections, explore individual, family and community histories, and learn about past government policies and actions that affected Aboriginal people in Victoria.
