Launch of the Military Archives Oral History Project

On November 9th the Military Archives will launch the Military Archives Oral History Project (MAOHP). The project was established in 2015 with the aim of digitally recording memory, oral history and tradition associated with the Defence Forces since its inception. In its first two years more than 120 interviews and 164 hours of testimony have been gathered. Samples from some of the interviews collected to date are being released on the Military Archives’ website to illustrate the nature of our material and to make available collected material in so far as is possible at this point. Military Archives will take all required care to fully process the material to the highest ethical and archival standards before making recorded material available.
