Dear all,
One of my colleagues here at the National Railway Museum is looking to put
together a resource pack which is intended to be sent out to schools, and an
education programme, based around our oral history collection of interviews
with former railway workers. Advice from anyone who's had to do something
similar would be greatly appreciated, for example what sort of items prove
most useful in packs, what sort of age groups get most out of talks based
around oral history? All the interviewees have agreed in advance that we
can use their interviews for any appropriate purpose, so using extracts is
not a problem, but the budget is likely to be limited.
This is the first time that the NRM has dealt with a large oral history
collection, so any advice please - reply off list and I will pass comments
on to my colleague. I will gladly summarise replies if anyone wants me to.
Thanks,
Tim Procter
