South Yorkshire Women in Industry
The South Yorkshire Women's Development Trust (SYWDT) was delighted to have been awarded funding by the Heritage Lottery Fund to carry out an Oral History project 'South Yorkshire Women in Industry'.
The project aimed to research and archive the experiences of South Yorkshire women working in industry over the past 100 years, record their experiences and celebrate their contribution to the region's heritage.
SYWDT have used this grant to fund research and to construct an oral and visual archive. We have also produced an Oral History Toolkit which you can download from this website.
The work has been digitised, making it highly accessible and allowing large volumes of people to learn about the heritage bequeathed to them by the female industrial workers of South Yorkshire.
