Parish Histories: the Victoria County History Way
(link to YouTube video of the presentation)
Dr Jean Morrin
Jean has been leading the new VCH Hampshire project since its inception in 2008. She co-authored, with John Hare and Stan Waight, the first of the parish histories, on Mapledurwell, published in 2012 (known as a “VCH Short”) and authored the history of Steventon, published in 2016, with John Hare. As well as overseeing the team, she is currently researching the parishes of Newnham, Nately Scures and Up-Nately. Jean will consider the scope of VCH parish histories which include landscape, settlement, population, landownership and, in particular, social, economic and religious history. She will also draw attention to the period covered from the Medieval era to the present day. |

How to Make Local History Films
by Tom Young
With summer finally arrived, this is a good time to get out with the video camera! Tom will tell you how to make a decent film. He has a first-class honours degree in Film Studies and Film Production from the University of Winchester and now works as a freelance videographer and film-maker. Assuming absolutely no knowledge of the subject, he will show how to make films for local history, with tips on the appropriate equipment and the processes that will enable the creation of quality productions. His talk will be based partly on an online course he studied with the Open University and will be ideal for helping the complete beginner to get started. His showreel can be found at: https://vimeo.com/447424166. |
