Project Historian: Young People in Time
An opportunity has arisen for a project historian to join the Young People
in Time project at Toynbee Hall.
Young People in Time is an oral history project that will engage a group
of 20 young people together with older generations by focussing on a
theme: ‘being young today and in the past’. This theme is broad and it is
expected will encompass material related to youth clubs, teenage behaviour
and issues related to Britishness, and the specific experience of young
people in the East End in the last sixty years. The project is supported
by the Heritage Lottery Fund, and will be led by the Young People and
Families team at Toynbee Hall, with additional support from the British
Museum and London Metropolitan University.
The project historian will provide guidance on the historical background
of the project, as well as manage the collection and archiving of the oral
history interviews. The contract is for 52 days over 12 months (1st April
2007 - 31 March 2008).
