SAHA New Virtual Exhibition on Oral History
Drawing on oral history collections in our archives, SAHA has developed this online resource as a way of introducing and demonstrating oral history methods to young South African historians.
It is intended as an interactive toolkit for both learners and educators interested in the potential of alternative history methods to represent the lives of ordinary South Africans, often previously ignored in the official narrative of South African history.
The virtual exhibition is not only dedicated to young historians, it is inspired by their work - it showcases digitised materials from students' and educators' portofolios, archived in the Department of Education Nkosi Albert Luthuli Young Historians' Oral History Collection at SAHA, to demonstrate the various components of an oral history project.
