New North East audio archive

Categorised in: North East
formartine

A great new audio archive, compiled by The Formartine Oral History Project, is to be launched at a meeting in Fyvie castle, Aberdeenshire, on Saturday 19 April 2008. The audio archive comprises almost a hundred CDs of locals remembering, and speaking about, their lives in Formartine. In a few cases these memories go back a hundred years while many of the individuals speak in the Scots of that area. After 19 April anyone can access the CDs by calling in at one of the following sites: North East Folklore Archive, Mintlaw; Turriff Academy & Public Library; Ellon Academy and Public Library, and Oldmeldrum Community Library. For more details please inquire with: formartin_project@yahoo.co.uk.
