Biographies

Iris Clayton was taken to the Cootamundra Domestic Training Home for Aboriginal Girls in the 1950s, and from there sent to work as a servant in Canberra. At the age of 18 she was allowed to return home where she married. She returned to Canberra in 1977 to work at AIATSIS, first as a library assistant and later on the switchboard, where she stayed for a number of years. She was awarded a grant to research the Wiradjuri births, deaths and marriages, and her findings have been deposited at AIATSIS. Since 1991 she has been a health worker at the Winnanga Nimmityjah Aboriginal Health Service in Canberra. She continues to be involved in community issues and is currently a council member of the ACT Cultural Council.
