Following the success of their Skills Sharing Days in London and Liverpool last year, the Oral History Society’s LGBTQ Special Interest Group invite you to an afternoon of project sharing and discussion. Project presentations will include opportunities for questions, enabling a consideration of issues such as: funding; interviews and outputs, and archiving.

LGBTQ oral history is a vibrant area which has the potential to bring together community projects and those working in an academic environment; we would like to welcome those from any background and with any level of experience.
