The Oral History Conference is a provincial conference that was conceptualised by the provincial department to address the issues around the history and memory of the liberation struggle.
The conference fits squarely into this year’s Heritage Month theme, which is “Celebrating the heroes and heroines of the liberation struggle.”
The department will also use it to contribute to the field of public memory and heritage through efficiently organised programmes and projects.
The department’s Oral History Conference will bridge the gap between the public and the research work and publications in libraries that are not easily accessible.
The conference is an essential part of South Africa and Gauteng’s heritage, as it aims to explore ways of recording and preserving the history of the liberation struggle and the pivotal role that oral history has to play.
