Master thesis | History (MA)

If we want our institutional archives, as knowledge banks and houses of memory, to be democratic and reflect, to a much a greater degree than they currently do, the societies which they are meant to serve, then they will need to become more diverse: more diverse in their collections, in their processes, in their personnel and in their actions. Diversity is a complicated and nebulous term. Within the framework of the wider academic discourse about why and how to diversify institutional archives, this thesis focuses on BBC’s The Listening Project (TLP) in the context of the oral history movement. It analyses TLP’s aims, methods and the extent to which it can provide insights into increasing diversity in institutional archives.
