Thanks to funding from the Heritage Council, the Oral History Network of Ireland is very excited to be hosting ‘Voices from History – Inspiring and Creative Uses of Oral History’, an event that will explore how oral histories can be used creatively to reach out to communities and engage people in stories from the past.
