Freedom labels

From the Oral History Hub Telling History, the initiative has been taken to create a link between the oral history collections Getuigenverhalen (Witness Stories), Veteranen vertelllen (Veterans talk) and the Specially Unknown project around the concept of Freedom.

The aim is to make the collections searchable on the meaning people give to the concept of freedom.

To make this substantive link, interviews were analysed for the meaning given to freedom and the various interview fragments were labelled.

Below is an overview of the labels used and their meaning:
