Open Heritage Belfast: Oral History Workshop

Join UAH supported by Belfast City Council for Open Heritage Belfast 2022! This year we will be exploring the fascinating history of Belfast’s doorways through online tours, walking tours and photography and oral history workshops.

Join us in the Old Museum Building, where we will explore the concept of oral history and how this can be used to record the stories of our doorways. We will hold two 1 hour workshops with PhD student Philip Rivers, where he will walk us through how oral histories promote other ways of recording our intangible heritage. He will walk us through the meaning of oral histories, why we use them, and how we can encourage their use.

Our oral history workshops will be led by Philip Rivers. Philip is a final year PhD researcher based in the School of Law at Queen’s University, Belfast. He is a Postgraduate Associate of the Institute of Irish Studies.

This event is run as part of Open Heritage Belfast, in partnership with Belfast City Council. Event is FREE, booking essential, all are welcome. Please note that there is currently no lift and the front entrance is by way of a number of steps.
