Speaking of History
“Speaking of History” marks the online publication of two major collections of audio-visual material.
- The first collection is Interviews with Historians, a collection of interviews between eminent historians conducted in the 1980s and 90s. Digitised recently from obsolete video tapes, the collection has been made available in full online once more.
- The second collection is A Historian’s Life, a new podcast series in which historians consider their lives and practices as historians.
The event features: one of the founders of, and original interviewers for, Interviews, Professor Pat Thane, who will reflect on them 30 years since their creation; recent IHR Artist-in-Residence Adam Knight, who will discuss his creative response to the Interviews, including a new exhibition in the IHR Common Room; Head of IHR Library & Digital Neil Stewart on the project to digitise and make available the Interviews series; and IHR Senior Fellow Lisa Pine, the host of A Historian’s Life.
The event will be followed by the opening of the Interviews exhibition in the IHR Common Room and a drinks reception.
This event is free to attend, but booking is required.
