Tales of Temple Newsam
Oral histories are a primary source of historical information that focus on personal recollections of a place, time and/or event through recorded interviews. This project will be a first of its kind for Temple Newsam as we seek to collect stories digitally in order to preserve them in an accessible format which has longevity.
While the house and its collections have been historically well researched by various academics and curators, Temple Newsam has only recently begun to include more diverse voices beyond a more traditional, scholarly, sphere.
We'll be sharing some of the personal memories and stories of Temple Newsam from individuals on this page throughout the project.
