Jura Lives
6th November, 2013
New on Scran: extracts from a collection of oral histories from the Isle of Jura, recorded as part of the Jura Lives project. Photographs of some of the interviewees are also featured.
Jura Lives interviewed people over a two-year period about their living memories of the island of Jura in Argyll and Bute. It resulted in over 180 hours of audio recordings. By hosting some of the highlights from this collection, Scran is enabling access to a great resource for finding out about how life has changed on the island since World War One for residents and visitors alike. The full archive of oral histories was launched in October 2013. Jura Lives is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Argyll and the Islands LEADER Programme 2007-13 and the Jura Development Trust.
