The Oral History Heritage Project consists of the spoken experiences, recorded and saved for generations to come of fifty members of the British Polio Fellowship.  The archive is a living portrayal of the effects of Poliomyelitis on individuals, their families, and their friends and records the memories of people’s efforts and endeavors’ to overcome the ravages of what was a plague of relatively-modern times.

The interviews and audio recordings were conducted on behalf of the British Polio Fellowship by the Heritage Project worker following training with the Oral History Society and a team meeting with the Project Leader, British Polio Fellowship Archivist and Technical Producer.

You may select and listen to all the interviews from the interview list on the left.
