February Update - Research Group Gets Going and Oral History Training

We’re thrilled by the interest in this project, and have had a great response from volunteers keen to carry out new research into historical musical women in Cornwall. On the 25th January we had our first Research Group meeting, and we welcomed an enthusiastic group with a wide variety of experience and interests. Over the next month they’ll be working by themselves to find their starting point for research online, with a meeting planned for March.

If you’d like to join, email project leader Florence Browne (florence@hypatia-trust.org.uk) for more information - no prior experience needed, and you’ll be very welcome!

We’re also excited to be working with Storylines to offer a three-part Oral History Training Course, with dates in March, April and May 2020, for those looking to develop and consolidate oral history collection as a new skill. The sessions will equip you with the skills to plan, record and present someone’s memories around the project theme of women and music. By the end of the sessions you will have conducted your own recording, and transformed this into a written story with accompanying visuals. More information.
