The 2004-2005 fees are £425 per 20 credit module.
Module 6 Oral History and Archives Part 1
This module concentrates on the unique and non-traditional requirements of what is involved in providing cost effective sound and oral history archive services. Students will be provided with the tools and skills necessary to carry out an oral history project. This will ensure a thorough understanding of the complex legal and ethical considerations involved, in addition to fully appreciating the needs of sound and oral history archive users.
Module 7 Oral History and Archives Part 2
This module highlights the special requirement of sound data, appraisal, storage, repair, maintenance, security and appropriate international standards. Students will gain an understanding of the historical development of sound recording technology and media, and the implications of obsolescence and emerging technology for conservation, preservation and access. As archiving sound and oral history materials is considerably more expensive than traditional archive sources part of the module will be devoted to helping students understand the financial and management options available.
