Oral
History Project
Friday 16 January 2007
saw the start of the Brechin Oral History project
organised by ‘The Friends’ and awarded a grant of £11,800 by the Heritage
Lottery Fund (HLF). The project will
preserve the memories of people in the Brechin area and is scheduled to be completed
by December 2007. The oral history group has interviewed many
individuals from diverse backgrounds and recorded their memories. The project will focus on the 1920s to 1980s
covering domestic and working life in the Brechin area. The recorded memories will be stored on digital discs to provide a
valuable primary source of living history that otherwise would be lost. Current
and future generations will be able to access the discs in museums, libraries
and schools to learn about and appreciate their heritage.
The
oral history CD sets are now available for sale through our online shop.
