preserving our stories
Oral History Gosport works with other organisations to capture oral histories by helping plan and deliver volunteer-led projects.
“A forgotten past is a past that is yet to be. A forgotten history is a memory missing from our collective conscience. An incomplete history is like an incomplete mind that has forgotten who it is and where it came from.”
—A.E. Samaan

We aim to work on professional standard projects that deliver material of genuine historical relevance. We can contribute to the planning and design of your oral history initiative to increase the chances of bringing it to reality.

Our goal is to develop the oral history interviewing expertise within the community of Gosport. We can support your project by offering experienced interviewers who work together and coordinate their efforts. Your funding application is stronger when you incorporate a group like ours into the proposal.
