Making Community Oral Histories

We are writing to invite you to take part in an exciting conference which we are organising in July 2007, to be held at the London Metropolitan University. You can download details of the conference below.

Oral history has never been more popular and, following a successful joint conference in 2001, ‘Talking Community Histories’, the Oral History Society and London Metropolitan University are again collaborating to organise a two-day event to bring together people and projects from all over the UK. The aim is to provide both new and experienced oral and community historians with an opportunity to discuss issues which arise in running community-based oral history projects.

We are also inviting you to submit a proposal to take part in one of the discussion workshops by making a brief informal and illustrated presentation, of up to 20 minutes, about your work.  If you’d like to make a presentation, please download the application form below.
