Hucknall Heritage Archive Project
Location: Nottinghamshire
Hucknall Library Local History Group will record the heritage of this former mining and textile town by carrying out a variety of projects, linked to a month long Local History Fair. The aim is to get the whole community involved by offering them a variety of events, including a project led by a professional playwright; material will be gathered through a combination of research and interviews with individuals and community groups. The material will be used to create a performance that combines stories with images of places and people both past and present.
There will be an adult story telling event based on the local community and a number of family history sessions to help beginner and more advanced research. The reminiscences will be transcribed and held on tape and added to the archive. The youth of the town will be involved through a photographic competition focussing on the heritage of the town.
The oral history project entitled 'Locally Speaking' is looking for local people who were living in the Hucknall area during the 1930s and 40s. We want to hear from you so we can record your memories to create an oral history archive for future generations.
