The Army Museums Ogilby Trust holds a monthly online session where speakers from within the Army Museums network as well as the wider heritage sector present on a specific topic. Starting at 1030am, speakers share top tips, best practice, or update on projects, for about 15 minutes. Attendees are then able to ask questions or contribute thoughts around the topic, all from the comfort of their desk, and be ready to get back to work at 11am!
These sessions are free to attend, but booking is required. Details on our sessions, as well as the links to book your place, can be found below.
These sessions are open to all, whether you are a part of the Army Museums Network or not.

Speaker: Padmini Broomfield, Trustee & Regional Adviser, Oral History Society
Wednesday 12th November, 10:30am
Oral histories are a fantastic way of engaging with audiences, by both collecting and then sharing stories. This medium helps to keep history alive through the people who experienced it, and as such, it is important to consider some key questions to ensure that these testimonies can be used for many years to come.
Padmini is an experienced oral historian and a Trustee of the Oral History Society. She will be sharing her insights on getting started with oral histories, as well as highlighting resources available.
This will be a great session for those who are considering an oral history project or are in the stages of planning one, as well as those who want to make sure they are following best practice.
