Mission Statement
The Living Stones project seeks to make an oral history for the members of Headingley Methodist Church in Leeds.
​
Oral history is the collection of people’s stories via interviews and audio recordings. It is a method of research which allows memories to be shared and for the voices of people to be heard.
The first stage of the project simply aims to interview individual members about their life stories and connection to the Church. These interviews will be recorded as WAV files and offered to the West Yorkshire Archive Service.
​
It is possible that, at a later stage, the recordings will be transcribed and a more advanced publication made. But for now, the aims of the Living Stones project remain achievable and realistic.

Eighteen participants have already shown an interest via a research survey. Some of their motivations for taking part can be found by following the button below:
