Would you be interested in, and able to help with a new project being run by the Scottish Oral History Centre (SOHC), based at the University of Strathclyde. The SOHC want to hear from people who were disabled or became disabled during the period 1939-1950 or from their advocates, family and co-workers.
Some research has been done on this subject but the personal stories of those directly involved are scarce. Indeed, it is almost impossible to access the Scottish experience. By creating an oral history archive for Scotland the gap in knowledge will begin to be filled providing an important and valuable resource.
David Walker, who works with the SOHC, would love to hear from anyone who thinks they could help with this project. It doesn’t matter where you are based as David is able to visit you and capture your memories using a digital audio recorder. If you, or anyone you know fits the bill and want to become a part of Scottish history then why not contact David in the first instance on 0141 444 8367 and leave a message. Or, you can email him at david.walker@strah.ac.uk
