Transmission Lines 1955–1974 is a project by Linda Carroli. It documents my father’s working life as a rigger and linesman with the Electric Power Transmission and its Italian parent company. He kept a photographic record of his working life and the photographs featured in this map are his personal photographs from Australia and Italy in the period 1955 to 1974. He commenced work in Italy in 1954 and remained working with EPT until 1975.
View Transmission Lines 1955 to 1974 in a larger map. This interactive map reproduces the map produced by my father. It documents the power lines he worked on through image and text. Click on the towers.

Photographs from SLQ talk
My partner, John, took some photographs of me speaking at the State Library recently. Here are a couple of them. Top is me speaking and below is Helen Cole and me having a catch up and cup of tea afterwards.

How is the project going? The Freestyle exhibition is amazing and your extension of the idea of the artists book is inspiring. Do you have plans about archiving this for the future..for people to be able read and digest. The physical object is so tangible and easy to use and store. Or are you happy for it to be ephemeral and last as long as it lasts?!
I am so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the exhibition and also my work. Helen did a great job with the show. Archiving is a hard one and not an issue I have given some thought to. I do aim to develop a booklike object out of/as part of this project but not sure when or what that might be. As for progress on Transmission Lines, it's been a bit slow. I've had to put work on hold while I attend to matters of livelihood (work and study) so I hope to get back to it when I have cleared other things away. It's unlikely the work can be archived in its current electronic form, so I will give some thought to the options. Hope that answers your question and thanks so much for the feedback and comments.
