Sharing history The memories of local film and TV veterans form a key part of our unique film and television heritage. They are the authentic voice of the story of how film and television has grown and prospered in Elstree and Borehamwood since 1914. The Elstree Project, a group of local volunteers, is committed to capturing this heritage by: -recording -preserving -and sharing The Elstree Project Preserving the memories of men and women behind film and television productions. Working together The group has entered into a formal partnership with the University of Hertfordshire and the 3 year Film and TV course at the School of Creative Arts. Working with staff and students to plan, record and edit interviews, we have recently completed our 32nd interview across a wide range of craft skills. The group has been endorsed by the Oral History Project of media industry union BECTU.
History of Public Health in Hertfordshire Keep in touch with our oral history project examining the history of public health in Hertfordshire between 1932-2012. Personal accounts The history of public health in Hertfordshire has been documented in many forms, but there are still gaps. One area which has not been chronicled is the perspectives of the people of Hertfordshire themselves - their oral histories. Researchers from the University of Hertfordshire are working with the MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit in Southampton to carry out an oral history project on the history of public health in Hertfordshire from 1932 to the present day. Child health One of the earliest protagonists of public health and particularly maternal and child health was Margaret Burnside. Margaret’s meticulous record-keeping of births in Hertfordshire was instrumental in establishing the Hertfordshire Cohort Studies (HCS). HCS members have been sharing their memories and experiences of public health in Hertfordshire, such as what it was like to be a child with measles, or to take children to the health clinic, or to be a mother in childbirth. They provide a rich source of information about Hertfordshire’s public health history in which local people have played a major part. The project aims to put these conversations together in a book.
