Oral History Projects

The Maroon Mile Project, Heart of Midlothian Football Club

I am currently employed as Oral History Curator for the Maroon Mile project at Heart of Midlothian Football Club, which was generously funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. As part of this project, myself and a small group of oral History volunteers created an archive of 32 oral history interviews which are archived at the Heart of Midlothian Football Club Museum. I personally recorded 24 interviews and edited and transcribed all 32 interviews. Excerpts from the interviews have been installed on interactive touchscreens in the Hearts Museum, located at Tynecastle Park, where they can be accessed by the public for free.

Evolution not Revolution: An Oral History of Women’s Club Golf in Scotland c.1945-1995

A key component of my PhD research was the creation of an oral history archive of 25 oral history interviews of women golfers across Scotland who played golf at club level during the period 1945-1995. Due to Covid-19 the majority of these interviews (21/25) were undertaken remotely on Microsoft Teams . These oral history interviews are fully transcribed and archived at the R&A World Golf Museum, where some excerpts from the interviews were included in the temporary exhibition Pass it on: Women’s Experiences in Golf at the R&A World Golf Museum.
