Extract

Crafts Lives, an oral history project for National Life Stories at the British Library, records in-depth life stories of Britain’s craftspeople exploring both their personal and their working lives. This new archive will provide a well of new information for academics, historians, students and craftspeople to draw upon. It should also contribute to a definition of British crafts that will give them their proper place in relation to the fine arts.
