The interaction between oral history and creative practice has been a key topic of conversation at the Oral History Collective. In this post, Bruce Davenport reflects on the conversations emerging from our recent Show and Tell workshop.
Throughout the warm summer months, we have been working hard to create an exciting programme of events for the autumn semester at Newcastle. These are now finalised and we’re delighted to share them with you. If you have a proposal for an event that you think we should be organising or contributing to, please contact us either via the comments section, or at oralhistory@newcastle.ac.uk
A new film from the British Library features clips from an oral history interview by the Oral History Unit’s Sue Bradley. ‘Behind the Scenes: The Man Booker Prize — Stories from the British Library’s archive‘ is an audio-visual montage created by British Library interviewer Sarah O’Reilly, with voices from in-depth interviews recorded for National Life Stories.
