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

The Sheffield Star has published an article dated 28.02.09 titled;
‘Snapshots of mum's past brought to life’

The article wrote about the story of Gary Noble finding his mother in the pictures that the ‘Women In Industry’ project has used for it press and marketing. The image was originally from Picture Sheffield, part of the Sheffield Archives and showed three buffer girls taking a tea break during World War Two.

The project still needs for women to tell us their stories about working in industry in South Yorkshire. The project is looking at a 100 year span, so if you worked during the war years or are still working in industry now we would like to hear from you!
