National Trust

This part of the case study brings together all the material that addresses oral history at the Trust-wide level. It considers the (lack of) collection policy, the current advice given to those who wish to run an oral history project, and the existing collection of National Trust oral history recordings which is housed at the British Library.

Seaton Delaval Hall

This section of the portfolio looks at the work I did with the staff and volunteers at Seaton Delaval Hall. The Hall is relatively new to the National Trust family and therefore is a blank slate for designing, especially because there were no oral history recordings related to the site until my project.1 This part of the case study also contains the design work I did for the Research Room at the Hall.

  1. I did find one recording on the Hall’s SharePoint which the majority of the staff were unaware of because it was recorded ten years ago. ↩︎
