The third in the series Activist Memories<\/em> based on interviews with members of Bristol’s Older Peoples Forum<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oral history<\/strong> creates space for the voices of ordinary people and overlooked communities to make a contribution to the historical record. It creates new primary sources which, although always subjective, provide rich and compelling narratives. What\u2019s more, oral history offers new and exciting interpretive opportunities, from embedded QR codes that make exhibitions speak via your smartphone to the ever growing history podcast market.<\/p>\n

This panel discussion on the pleasures and pitfalls of oral history features practical advice from a variety of Bristol-based projects. BRHG\u2019s Trish Mensah<\/strong> reflects on her whole life interviews with activists from the Bristol Older Peoples Forum<\/strong>; community historian Rosie Wild<\/strong> talks about trust and transparency when working with marginalised communities<\/strong>, and BCFM\u2019s Marcus Smith<\/strong>, host of the award-winning 12 Communities One Bristol,<\/em><\/strong> oral history podcast series, talks about how to create an impressive impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
