The Cornish Audio Visual Archive
provides training and support for groups and individuals
who are interested in oral history and video interviewing.
These sessions explore the subject of memory, practical use
of equipment, the techniques needed to help you achieve the
best quality recordings, planning an interview, asking
questions and listening, issues of copyright and ethics,
looking after your recording, and compiling summaries.
Training can be provided at the Tremough Campus or at a
venue of your own choice. The archive can also conduct oral
history and video interviewing projects if requested and
can provide additional support in areas like the editing
and dissemination of audio-visual recordings. Our
educational objectives are also pursued through an oral
history component of the MA in Cornish Studies Programme at
the Institute of Cornish Studies, the archive’s regular
seminar series at the Cornwall Centre/Kresenn Kernow in
Redruth and an annual conference. For further details
