Oral History Training
As part of the Forester’s Forest programme we have completed four training sessions for over forty participants helping them record oral history and critically assess the use of oral history sources. We are able to give practical advice and help to community groups designing their own projects.
Learn how to record your own oral history interviews, and how to set up & run your own OH project...as part of the 2019 Oral History Weekend
