Norfolk Record Office

An introductory training event to engage new volunteer bloggers who will research and create content for the Norfolk Record Office blog

Do you love history, research, or writing? Are you interested in listening to historical sound archives to find engaging stories and narratives? Unlocking Our Sound Heritage at Norfolk Record Office are seeking volunteer bloggers to research and write articles for the Norfolk Record Office blog, drawing upon regional sound archives for inspiration and illustration. Unlocking Our Sound Heritage (UOSH) is a national project to preserve the UK’s sound archives. Chaired by the British Library and supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, UOSH operates across ten UK wide heritage organisations, safeguarding rare and at-risk sound recordings. Norfolk Record Office is the East of England UOSH hub, working with unique audio archives from across the eastern region. As a UOSH blogging volunteer, you will be given the opportunity to delve deeper into regional sound archives, using the Norfolk Record Office blog as a platform to showcase audio collections, and identify and explore engaging topics from historical recordings. Volunteers will be given the flexibility to choose their own volunteering hours and will be encouraged to pursue research and writing in areas of their interests. In this introductory training session, you will find out more about the Norfolk Record Office blog and opportunities to get involved, and receive training in using archival catalogues to conduct research and editing audio recordings to create sound clips. The workshops are completely free of charge and focus on sources that you can access from home.Find our April - June 2021 programme of online events <a href="https://norfolkrecordofficeblog.org/events-early-summer-2021/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>If you are no longer able to attend, please let us know so that we can offer your place to someone on the waiting list.
