Collecting, Archiving and Presenting Our Stories

At conferences and workshops, OurStory Scotland has given several presentations on collecting, archiving and presenting the stories of the LGBT community.

Our presentations have looked not only at the content of the stories, but at methods of storytelling - the wide variety of ways in which we have encouraged the telling of neglected narratives and untold stories.

Neglected Narratives and Untold Stories

OurStory Scotland provided the theme and title for the conference on Neglected Narratives and Untold Stories, which was held in October 2006 as the inaugural conference of the Centre for Narrative and Auto/Biographical Studies at Edinburgh University in association with OurStory Scotland. The focus on methods of storytelling from the paper on Untold Stories of the LGBT Community was developed for publication, together with embedded videos from the OurStory Ceilidh and storytelling workshops, and can be accessed online here:
