Science Museum: Information Age Coronation oral history co-ordinator (freelance, part-time)

 

The Science Museum is developing a major, new permanent gallery - Information Age (IA) – which will open in autumn 2014. IA tells the story of how information and communication technologies have transformed our lives over the last 200 years.

 

As part of display around the development of television there will be a focused story around the television broadcast of the Coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953. This moment marked the first time that more people in Britain had watched an event on the television than listened to it on the radio. Our ambition is give visitors a chance to hear first hand accounts of how watching the Coronation on the television affected viewers.

 

In order to achieve this, the Science Museum is looking for a co-ordinator to identify interviewees (ideally of different ages and backgrounds) and to carry out interviews with a range of people who watched the Coronation on the television in 1953.
