Course summary

The Certificate in Oral History enables learners to practice oral history in a competent, methodologically robust and ethically sound way. It aims to introduce them to uses of oral history in museum and heritage settings, and to learn basic podcasting skills. The programme develops the methodology of collecting ‘history from below’, giving learners the skills to collect and interpret evidence that is not available in the written record.
