Oral history

Capturing and presenting community voices is so important for ensuring our collections are representative, diverse and engaging for our visitors.

I have experience of working on a range of oral history projects, from tattoo artists for London Museum to fishmongers for the National Maritime Museum.

Some of my oral history work includes:

Metropolitan Police: Recording everyday experiences of police officers and staff for the Met’s heritage service, 2024-26
