Seminar: Interpretations of Oral History

The Oral History Seminar was held on December 3, 2025, at the Depot History Centre in Wrocław. The analysis focused on two interviews conducted by Dr. Kamil Borecki (the “Remembrance and Future” Center, Wrocław) as part of research on the solidarity strike that took place in Wrocław in August 1980. The interviews served as a starting point for a discussion on interpretations of oral history.

The Oral History Seminars are co-organized by the Qualitative Data Archive at IFiS PAN, the Faculty of Culture and Arts at the University of Warsaw, and the Polish Oral History Association. The initiative is under the patronage of the “Wrocławski Rocznik Historii Mówionej” („Wrocław Yearbook of Oral History”).
