About The Trust and the Project...

We are a charitable trust based in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, UK. In 2008 we recieved at grant from HLF to carry out an oral history and research project into the lives of women who have worked in Industry across the region over the past 100 years. This blog is here to keep everyone up to date on the progress of the project and where we hope it will go, it is also here so that people can add comments or ideas for the project. Hope you enjoy reading! If you need any more information email: industry.sywdt@btconnect.com

Women In Industry Research Document Received

The Women In Industry oral history project commissioned a research document from Lynne Fox in November 2008. The research was to inform the oral history enquiry and to form the basis of the exhibition that will be held in the summer around the information that will be collected from the oral histories.
The project has now received the research document and with it a treasure trove of images that have been kindly provided to us with permission from archives across the region.

A summary of the research findings will be available within the next few weeks.

As before we are still looking for participants to take part in the project, so if you have worked in industry or know someone that has in South Yorkshire and would like to take part in the project please get in contact either on tel: 0170983441 or email: jessicathomas.sywdt@btconnect.com
