Our Heritage, Our Stories (OHOS) Workshop output: W6B Post-Custodial Approaches - Capturing Language and Dialects and Post-Custodial Practice (Kinloch Historical Society Case Study)

The workshop involved structured interviews and feedback from the Prisons Memory Archive (PMA), discussing the specifics of building an archive on the lived experience of prisoners at Armagh Gaol and Maze and Long Kesh, Northern Ireland. The holders of the archive also discussed the benefits and challenges of recording material in Gaelic and in the prison’s situation-specific dialects. Also, workshop input from Leas Pavillion Archive and the Kinloch History Society. This activity contributed to OHOS/W6’s aim of developing a post-custodial model for the curation and management of CGDC, via input from diverse stakeholders.
