This week we are joined by Hannah Mackay from the Perth and Kinross Archive. Hannah works with their sound collection, which since the 1970s has been collecting the voices of regional residents relating to all aspects of the history of Perth & Kinross.
In this episode about oral history, Hannah shares with us her work on the sound collection, some early oral history techniques and technologies, questions of ethics and consent, some tips for getting started with recording, as well as a favourite recording from the archive.
