We collected 60 audio-histories and ten video-histories. A key aspect of the project was its life story approach, involving in-depth preparation and interviewing. Biographical material about each interviewee was collected and we used the interviews as an opportunity to invite donations to the Women's Library of significant documentary material (for example, letters and diaries). The interviews were transcribed and the interviewees were given the opportunity to correct and amplify the transcript. The recordings were collected, documented and archived at the British Library.
