I am running an Oral History project called Story Shop and I'm looking for volunteers to help me record the oral histories which will be archived in Shropshire Archives. Volunteers would receive training from the Oral History Society on best practices to capture and record an Oral History. Volunteers can also help out with transcription and maybe they would even like to help me organize the presentation of some of this material post-project. I would be able to cover travel costs and refreshments where possible too.  All ages are welcome to aply for the volunteer role.

See attached flyer for more details.
