A statement outlining my proposed research for Summer 2022 of the Laidlaw Undergraduate Scholarship.

The research explores how digitalisation impacts the accessibility of archives for the local community, both in terms of available resources and influencing the historical narrative. This will be done through the comparison of two archives, linked through their use of oral history when exploring their own history.

Emily Bowen (She/Her)
Student, University of York

I'm a third year History student at the University of York, with an interest in archives and public history. Improving the accessibility of history is of great importance to me, both in terms of access to resources and the historical narrative. I've had experience in archives ranging from the Cambridge Arts Theatre, dating from 1934, to St Peter's School, York, which dates back to 627 AD. Whilst at the Arts Theatre I also received accredited training from the Oral History Society, which I have since been able to apply to other oral history community projects.
