Oral Histories

Over the course of the project we recorded audio and video oral histories from across West Sussex. Some of the recordings are showcased on the DVD we produced which is available at local libraries in West Sussex. Some sections from the DVD can be viewed online – see the Movies and Memories collection on the Screen Archive South East online catalogue for details.
