Cross-cultural
Material relating to East End Women – Wakefield Trust Oral History. In 2002 Kate Melvin was commissioned to carry out an oral history project by The Women’s Library with funding provided by the Wakefield Trust. This project was to collect 30 oral histories of older women who lived in the neighbourhood of the Women's Library i.e. specifically in the electoral wards of Spitalfields and Banglatown, Whitechapel, Weavers and St Katherine's and Wapping. The interviewees were selected to represent the broad ethnic diversity in the area. Mark Barrow carried out a project copying the interviews to various media which resulted in him depositing 30 compact discs, 21 mini discs and 9 audio cassette tapes. There are approximately 30 tapes in the collection.
