‘Oral history records people’s life stories, testimonies about historical events and the meaning they give to their environment. These are stories collected through (open) interviews and through the use of oral sources’.
The aim of ‘Sprekende geschiedenis’ is to actively promote cooperation and cross-pollination on the theme of oral history between museums, archives, heritage organisations, scientists, social initiatives, education and freelancers.
We do this by, among other things, organising workshops, expert meetings and courses together with partners and the wider network, mapping existing oral history collections in the Netherlands and maintaining an informative portal. The annual oral history symposium is an important part of the programme, focusing on current substantive and technical issues from the field.

Stimulating the presentation of oral history material to the public.

Actively contributing to a greater inclusiveness and diversity of historiography and the heritage sector.
To lobby the government and funders.
Oral history is a field that in recent decades has become an internationally recognised form of historiography. Dealing with contemporary history is unthinkable without stories about the past. Oral history tells the stories of groups and communities that receive little coverage in historiography, thus contributing to different and new perspectives on contemporary history and heritage.
Our website offers a growing overview of oral history interview collections, ongoing projects and research, and examples of successful presentations of oral history material by large and small institutions and organisations. The website also offers practical tips and guides for getting started with an oral history project yourself.
In addition to regular partners and an active community, the Oral History Hub has an active and committed steering committee:
