In 1997 the Society of Archivists celebrates its fiftieth anniversary. As its main contribution to the celebrations, the Film and Sound Archives Group has initiated an oral history programme called "Celebrating Memory: An oral history of the Society of Archivists and its members", which it hopes will become an ongoing project built into the annual work of the Group and perhaps of the Society. "Celebrating Memory" will culminate at the end of the celebration year in a series of publications including a book. During the course of this project we aim to record as many interviews as possible with as wide a representation of the Society as we can, with a bias towards senior members of the profession who can tell us about the Society's growth and the growth of archives, conservation, and records management as such.

On behalf of the Dulverton and District Civic Society, Birdie Johnson has travelled throughout Exmoor with her recorder, listening to people's life stories. Whatever their profession, whether blacksmith, chambermaid, farm worker or landed gentry, Exmoor's older generation shared their lives with us. The result is over 200 hours of recording, giving a unique insight into life on the moor during the 20th century. The archive is accompanied by the book REFLECTIONS, life portraits of Exmoor, in which photographer Mark Rattenbury's intuitive photographs capture an element of the contributors' personalities.
