The SHP has also established links
with the Oral History Project (ORP) in the Department of History
and Philosophy, University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, Barbados.
The objective is to advance the SHP’s oral history programme.
The ORP is currently engaged in recording the memories of returnee
residents to Barbados, who had previously migrated to the United
Kingdom between 1951 and 1971. A similar project has been started
by the SHP, and, the intention is to host a joint symposium with
the ORP in the near future, where the findings of both projects
will be presented. The SHP was represented by this body at the 13th
International Oral History Conference in Rome, Italy in June 2004,
where a report on the SHP’s Oral History programme to date
was presented.
