The Past is Always Present Oral History Training @ Ty Llywelyn Community Centre

Oral history is the recording of historical information, based on the personal experiences and opinions of the speaker.  It often takes the form of eye-witness evidence about past events, but can include folklore, myths  and stories passed down over the years by word of mouth.

The Oral History Training is taking place over two days and is being provided by Dr Andrew Edwards and Michelle Taylor MA from Bangor University.  One of the first things we have learned is that history doesn't have to be 'of the past'; we are making history in the here and now - every moment of our lives!   This project will give you the opportunity to allow your grandchildren and great grand children to have a lasting record of your story in your own voice

On completion of the training, we are hoping to come out into the community to record your personal stories of your experiences in Llandudno.

Heritage Project Session

A group of ten people attended an introductory session at Llandudno Archives on Friday 22nd October. Everyone said they had a really good time finding out about Llandudno history, looking at photos and trying out online family history sites.

A very interesting story was found in a local school register which detailed reasons for children leaving school - often to start work at the age of 14.

Thanks to everyone at Llandudno Archives who provided help and support on the day.

Llandudno Archives is based at the old Lloyd St school building and is open to the public every Monday to Thursday from 10 am to 12.30 pm and 1.30 pm to 4.30 pm.
