Women’s History Bring and Tell

This workshop combines the power of oral histories with the significance of personal objects that highlights women’s lives, histories and achievements. Focussing on women’s memories and their photographs, artefacts or memorabilia relating to their own lives or the lives of other women, we help participants to unravel and record the unique stories behind objects and images. Participants can tell us their story or the story of an important woman in their life and record it for Glasgow Women’s Library archives. They can bring along any object related to the woman – clothes, quilts, recipe books, photographs, letters, songs, toys or gifts. These testimonies can be recorded in a variety of ways by the facilitators. Groups are given copies of their recordings and can be shown how to deposit (and access their testimonies) in the collection of GWL if appropriate.
