Family History Project

VILLAGE HISTORY / FAMILY HISTORY

As each generation passes we lose some knowledge of our local history. This project will interview people in the village in an informal yet systematic way. The main ‘interviews’ will be recorded on video and high quality audio. Although not restricted to the older generation, our ‘informants’ will generally be the senior members of our community. A further part of the project will encourage people to write their own personal history in a form that could be handed down to future generations of their own family. This project will be done in small ‘writers groups’. It will probably start with a single group but over time other groups are likely to follow.
