Abstract

This article discusses the opportunities and challenges that arose from delivering the ‘Hidden Memories of Mental Healthcare’ heritage project remotely rather than in person in the midst of the pandemic. Postgraduate students in higher education were taught oral history methodology at a distance in order to collect oral history interviews remotely. This article seeks to highlight innovative and collaborative approaches to teaching oral history methodology to young people in higher education in order to generate primary source material and co-produce digital mental healthcare histories at a distance. It discusses how the project met its stated outcomes by pivoting to online delivery. It examines the practical and ethical challenges and the unexpected outcomes and rewards that arose from this process.
