Women in Industry Participant
A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE WITH THE
'SOUTH YORKSHIRE WOMEN IN INDUSTRY' ORAL HISTORY PROJECT
If you have worked, or are working, in industry in Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham or Sheffield and would like to record your experiences for future generations, historians and researchers we would like to hear from you.
South Yorkshire Women's Development Trust is delighted to have been awarded funding by the Heritage Lottery Fund to carry out an Oral History project 'South Yorkshire Women in Industry'. The project aims to research and archive the experiences of South Yorkshire women working in industry over the past 100 years, record their experiences and celebrate their contribution to the region's heritage.
Participants/contributers
As a participant you will:
- Have the chance to tell your story about the way you have lived and worked
- Play an important role in the filling in of gaps about women in the history of industrial work in the region
- Have your oral history archived across the region for future generations
- Meet new people from your local area who are interested in their local history
- Take part in workshops, and an exhibition that will be formed around the information you have given.
Not you?
It could be your Mother, Grandmother, sister or any other relative or friend who worked in such an environment whose story you could tell on their behalf.
We would be very pleased to hear from anyone who can contribute to the project and help us in compiling a lasting picture of women's contribution to the rich industrial past of South Yorkshire.
