TEESSIDE IRON AND STEEL MEMORIES PROJECT  Some of our volunteers have now completed their training and are ready to start carrying out oral history interviews. The aim is to collect memories about living and working within the iron and steel communities on Teesside and will result in an exciting digital resource for the future.
The interviews will be digitally recorded and then transcribed, at the end of the project a copy of both of these will be deposited in Teesside Archives where all material will be preserved as a permanent public reference resource. If you would like to share your memories and be interviewed as part of the Teesside Iron and Steel Memories Project, please call Karen Oxley on 01642 384478 for more information or alternatively click here to request further details. |
