About the project
Museum volunteers learned new recording and broadcast skills with support from local community broadcast experts, Soundart Radio, and our community worker, Kate Green. Volunteers took microphones and recorders home to capture stories and walks, conducting interviews online where needed. Oral history recordings from the museum archive were also added to the mix.
