On December 18, an Oral History Seminar was held at IFiS PAN. Participants analyzed two interviews recorded with women born in 1935 in Gdańsk. These interviews are part of the “Gdańszczanie” (“Inhabitants of Gdańsk”) collection, which is deposited in the Gdańsk Oral History Archive (GAHM) at the Museum of Gdańsk.
The interviews were selected, and an introduction was provided by Dr. Andrzej Hoja—a historian, archivist, curator, and the creator and coordinator of GAHM. Dr. Hoja is also an expert at the Center for Historical Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Berlin.
The Oral History Seminars are co-organized by the Faculty of Culture and Arts at the University of Warsaw, the Qualitative Data Archive at IFiS PAN, and the Polish Oral History Association. The initiative is under the patronage of the “Wrocławski Rocznik Historii Mówionej” („Wrocław Yearbook of Oral History)”.
