External Site: University of Cambridge Department of Archaeology: Personal Histories Project[info]
The Personal Histories Project is an on going, educational, oral-history research initiative at the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research in which senior scientists are invited to share their memories and life stories in order that, through their personal recollections, we can better understand the development of twentieth century archaeology and the origins of current research agenda. These talks are filmed and made available for online viewing and DVDs are available for use in teaching. The collection currently features, among others, Colin Renfrew, Mike Schiffer, Meg Conkey, Henrietta Moore, Richard Bradley, Chris Stringer, Meave Leakey and David Attenborough.
