100 Voices that Made the ´óÏó´«Ã½, a collaboration between the ´óÏó´«Ã½ and the University of Sussex, is part of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Connected Histories project.
´óÏó´«Ã½ Connected Histories is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). The project’s core aim is to bring into the public realm some of the hidden treasures of the ´óÏó´«Ã½â€™s own oral history archive – some 600 or so interviews with former members of staff, few of which have been available for researchers or members of the public until now. ´óÏó´«Ã½ Connected Histories is also working with other three other partners - Mass Observation, the Science Museum Group, and the British Entertainment History Project – so it can enrich the ´óÏó´«Ã½â€™s own story by providing a new level of access to a wide range of other material and resources.
The project is based at the Sussex Humanities Lab (SHL) in the University of Sussex, and is led by Professor David Hendy. Other University of Sussex researchers on the project include Dr Alban Webb of SHL, Dr Margaretta Jolly, the Director of the Centre for Life History and Life Writing Research, and Tim Hitchcock, Professor of Digital History.
100 Voices that Made the ´óÏó´«Ã½: Radio Reinvented is one of seven series created in the run up to the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s 100th centenary.
