Really thrilled that we have recorded six interviews this year, with more lined up for Spring 2019. Amy, Dorothy, Ellen, Emily and Ruth were fantastic interviewers and Alice has done lots of transcribing. Next steps include producing summaries and making decisions on the repository but look out for more news about the interviews and some snippets here soon…
The Consent Form
The consent form is ready for you to use on our interviewers' toolkit page, thanks to Amy Beecher's tremendous research and editing skills. Do email us at faisneis@unaganaguna.org with any feedback. Good luck!
The Information Sheet is Here
Our founding members have been hard at work defining what exactly the project is all about...
Check out our information sheet which explains exactly what getting involved means for women who are thinking about whether they would like to be interviewed. In it, we explain the purpose of the project as well.
The information sheet explains our aim which is to interview a range of women born in Ireland during the twentieth century or those with Irish connections, and eventually to capture the views and memories of women born in every decade from the 1920s to the 1990s. Our sample is found simply through women with whom we have a connection.
There's lots of practical information about how long an interview might take, what happens to the recordings and transcripts, confidentiality, and consent. Lastly, we explain why the project is called Úna Gan A Gúna...
We're Getting Started
We are the Irish Women's Digital History Collective Tá Úna Gan A Gúna. We're just getting started. What we've achieved so far is to set up a group of founding members with different experiences and skills and from different generations.
We have started to work out collectively how best to structure the digital history project, to provide good guidelines for people who'd like to get involved, and protect the memories and archive materials that interviewees provide.
We've started the website and our email address faisneis@unaganaguna.org
