Administrative/Biographical History

On the Record are a not-for-profit co-operative (registered as a Community Interest Company), co-founded by Laura Mitchison and Rosa Schling. The organisation specialises in oral history and community archiving projects. Funding is secured for each new project from external funders, for instance the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The organisation works as a co-operative, with each project relying on volunteers and participants to shape the outcome and aims. This collaborative approach means that everyone involved with a project plays an active role in recording the histories and making decisions about how the outputs are shared with others.

Scope and content

Holding the Baby was funded by Gilda Street Trust in the memory of historian and author, Gilda O’Neill. The archive includes oral histories, digitised documents and recordings from events held in conjunction with the project.
