- Recording interviewees from different areas of the Carneddau who are interested in sharing their knowledge and stories of living and working in the landscape.
- Providing free accredited training workshops for groups and individual volunteers, to learn skills that will support the gathering, digitising, archiving and sharing of information.
- Adding the recordings to the People’s Collection Wales archive, to preserve them for the future.
How many times have you said that you wished you’d recorded someone telling stories about the past? How many times have you reminisced with friends and agreed that your memories should be written down?
The Carneddau Voices project is using our oral history tradition to capture the living memories and experiences of Carneddau people, mitigating the risk of those important histories being lost and disappearing from the collective community narrative.
The recordings will be saved and stored as part of the People’s Collection Wales. The shared memories will be part of a permanent collection of stories about the Carneddau landscape that will be an important heritage and learning resource for future generations.
