The Oral History Collection includes important audio interviews relating to the development
of Brighton & Hove from 1900 to the present day. Topics within the collection include memories
of local streets, shops, cinemas, schools, theatres, dancehalls, wartime air raids and blackouts,
personal memories of toys and film, and interviews to support the museum's Costume,
Performance and Body Galleries.
The Oral History Collection continues to develop through community exhibitions. These are
curated by local residents and displayed in the ‘Exploring Brighton Gallery’ and
cover a wide range of subjects. Past exhibitions include Max Miller & Donald McGill,
Brighton Tramways & Volks Railway, The Gay & Lesbian Archive, the Vespa Club,
Missing the Nile Sudanese community project and the Twelve Chinese community project.
Visitors can hear sound bites from the collection on audio listening posts and touch
screens throughout the museum's galleries in Brighton and Hove.
