Our collection of Oral History audio files has recently been digitised. Almost 100 audio records of selected society talks, BBC features and many interviews of Wychwoods residents are included in the WLHS archive.
To offer a brief flavour of the many interviews from the 1980s-2000s, here are a few out-takes.
- Cissie Carpenter and the Good Doctor
- Bim Champness and Some Memories of Village Characters
- Dorothy Thomson, Hathaways and Mrs Wiggins
- Dorothy Thomson and the Tale of Mr Samuda’s Model T Ford
- Dulcie Arundell and the Tale of the American Soldier at Shipton Station
- George Bradley and his London Wartime Deliveries
- Megan Bradley and the Canadian Soldiers in World War II
… and a couple of clips from Duncan Waugh’s 1991 talk on emigration to New Zealand
A large selection of audio files is now available on request.
Some of these are available online here
