Abernyte Oral History Collection

Oral history recordings on CD ROM and Minidisc relating to the interviewee's experiences of living in Abernyte; full and amended transcripts of recordings; contact details of interviewees and copyright/consent forms.

In response to changing dynamics in Abernyte, the Abernyte Heritage Group was established in the mid 1980s as part of a drive to celebrate and retain local identity. The group was composed of longstanding residents and recent arrivals to the village and was involved in a number of projects. In 1988 the Group undertook its first project, Abernyte portrait of a Perthshire village in 1988, and in 1992 created a village collage. In 1996, the group decided to undertake an oral history study which saw them interview Abernyte residents and commit to tape their experiences and memories.

Usually chronological within series.
