Starcross Oral History Project - volunteers please


The information on this new website is very helpful for the Starcross Oral History Project but we need some more volunteers.
  • Would you interview someone?
  • Do you have some memories you would like to record? They can be memories of Starcross and area, or, if you live here now, they canbe memories of your life. We'd love to hear from you.

Welcome

Oral history is the recording of people’s memories, experiences and opinions. It is:

  • A living history of everyone’s unique life experiences
  • An opportunity for those people who have been ‘hidden from history’ to have their voice heard
  • A rare chance to talk about and record history face-to-face
  • A source of new insights and perspectives that may challenge our view of the past.
The Oral History Society promotes the collection, preservation and use of recorded memories and plays a key role in facilitating and developing the use of oral history
