Using family or archive photographs in Oral History interviews
Leading on from our previous podcast about recording your own oral history interviews, in this programme we focus specifically on using photographs to elicit stories from people.
Julia and Rick, from Catcher Media, talk about their own experience of using photographic archives, especially in their most recent 4-year project: www.herefordshirelifethroughalens.org.uk. They are joined by Geoff Broadway who is an artist who has been using family photographs in his own project: Living Memory which was set up to 'record, archive and celebrate life stories and personal photography collections from across the Black Country'.
Topics in their free-ranging discussion include:
Photographs providing a rapport and a ‘way-in’ to different community groups, who may otherwise been hard to engage
Recurring themes that people discuss in relation to photographs
How photographs are lovely artefacts which may outlast their digital versions
Working with photographic archives
Challenges of collating digital collections
Ethical issues
Photographs as a meeting point of memoy and storytelling
Handing on your photographic archive
Bearing witness and valuing someone else’s story
Referenced in this interview:

Digital Storytelling with Daniel Meadows and the work of Dana Atchley and Joe Lambert With Storycenter.
