History and Archives in Practice: In Conversation series of lunchtime talks July 2024.

The University of Stirling Pandemic Oral History Project, launched in 2021 to tell the story of the University’s vibrant and varied community during the Covid-19 pandemic. To conclude the project, the project team has published an article and this accompanying film - “An Unusual Period of Unspecified Length”: A Creative Oral History of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
