We can learn a lot. Popa(my granda) told me that his great aunt, Mary Whitmore, was the first female Mayor of Ipswich, which was exciting to know.” What should I ask questions about? Do the relatives and older people you speak to remember when the astronaut Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon in 1969? Any interviewing tips? When talking to people about the history they have lived through, try to ask interesting questions, and listen carefully to their answers. Write notes and questions down before you chat so that you will remember what to say. Oral History Do you talk to older people about what life was like when they were young? Perhaps you enjoy finding out what major events, such as the Second World War, were actually like for the people who lived through them? Oral history means listening to these stories and asking questions of the people who remember them. It is a good idea to make recordings of oral history conversations so that they can be kept and listened to in the future. This can be done with a sound recording device or an app on a smartphone. As well as historical events that affect a whole country, local events are also important. Examples could include flooding, the construction of new buildings, or a person making a big change or having strong influence on a particular area. Neal Foster, who creates the popular Horrible Histories Live stage shows, thinks oral history is vital. “Nothing competes with hearing history from people who went through the experience. What makes history fascinating is hearing the same event recalled by different people. That knowledge is priceless,” he says. Learn more...
