Recording the Oral History Interviews
Picture


Thank you very much to everyone who replied to our letters. The response was greater than we anticipated, and I am very sorry that we have not been able, due to budget constraints, to include all those who volunteered. We have also very much appreciated the letters and information that you have sent us.

Megan, Pip, Helen and myself are now travelling around the country to record the family memory oral histories, and these interviews will continue throughout 2017. Many interesting stories, and a wide range of  fascinating objects and photographs, have emerged in the interviews and we are very grateful to you all. We hope to include some of these stories and images on this website, but Jared, our research assistant, will contact you before we do so to confirm your permission. 

All those participating in the project will be sent an audio copy of their oral history interview, plus copies of the Agreement Forms.
