What is Oral History?

Oral History is the recording of people's own histories, feeling and ideas. On the Sea Your History project we are interviewing and recording 90 people as part of five oral history projects. Each interview, which can be up to 2 hours long, is added to the collections at the Royal Naval Museum for archiving and extracts of each interview are made available on the Sea Your History website in the Oral History Gallery.
