The following is from the DVD Cover Notes by
John Martyn Young
Theatre Consultant
"Join
us on a contemporary film tour of the historic village of
Carcoar. Founded
in 1839, Carcoar is still one of the most colourful gems of colonial
NSW.
This DVD was
conceived by versatile
Carcoar &
District Historical Society member and local potter, Louise
Purcell. She has thoroughly researched this account of the fascinating
history of Carcoar, Now and Then.
Her narration and images
introduce you to the streets, buildings, activities, lifestyles and
attractions of the people of Carcoar as they live here today and how the
vibrant and exciting past is always with us.
This
DVD is made up from new movie footage and hundreds of stills taken by
Louise, as well as from many vintage snapshots and more formal
photographs, some dating back to the 1860s, from private collections as
well as from the archives of the Carcoar and District Historical Society
to which Louise had access.
This new enterprise is a
follow-on to the very successful theatre production of "The Carcoar
Chronicles" presented by the Historical Society in 2008 to raise funds
for the restoration of historic Carcoar Court House... A subsequent
DVD
movie of the play was filmed and edited by Louise...
As a
relative newcomer to the district, it has given me great pleasure to
have been involved in the creation of the production of "The Carcoar
Chronicles" as well as other activities organised by the Historical
Society ... our thanks go to all participants in the Society's
endeavours, including those who have assisted in the supply and loan of
photos and historical information that made the Carcoar Now & Then
DVD possible."
