Recording Lived Experience: A Toolkit for Victims and Survivors
“Recording lived experience is a complex and challenging endeavour. It need hardly be said that I don’t have all the answers. Throughout this toolkit I have nonetheless tried to reflect honestly and openly on my own experiences – what has worked reasonably well, mistakes that I’ve made along the way, and what I have learned from them…
This toolkit is in many ways a ‘work in progress’. As victims and survivors groups begin to develop their own projects, new issues will no doubt come to light. What follows will nonetheless hopefully offer useful and practical guidance, not only for the VSS funded organisations who plan to develop ‘recording lived experiences’, but for all those who are interested in capturing and preserving our invaluable oral heritage, now and for years to come.” (p.4)
