Oral Histories
Our oral histories capture conversations with practitioners, leaders and pioneers in interpretation. These recordings share personal stories, reflections and lessons learned.
These interviews were recorded in 2025, our 50th anniversary year, with the support of the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The full interviews are available to researchers on request. Contact us for more information.
