Get in Touch

Subjects, volunteer interviewers, researchers, archivists and anyone who wants to suggest somebody we should be recording.

A service station forecourt on the A66 in February. Most first contacts with the project come by email; a good number come by somebody passing on a phone number.

The archive

Replies usually within a fortnight. There is one person doing this and they are often out recording.

Research access

Written requests only. Tell us the record reference, what you are working on and whether you need the audio or the transcript. Access to unpublished records depends on what the subject agreed to.

Suggesting somebody

Please ask them first. We do not approach people cold and we will not follow up a name given without permission.

Press

We will talk about the project and the method. We will not put you in touch with a subject, arrange an interview with one, or supply audio for broadcast without their separate written consent.

Post

Passenger Seat, c/o the regional records office. Postal address supplied on request; we do not keep an office.

Before you write

If you want to be recorded, the take-part page has everything and saves a round of email.
If you are suggesting somebody, please have asked them already.
If you are a researcher, include a record reference if you have one.
If you are asking us to campaign about something, we will say no kindly.
If you are an employer, we still need the individual's own consent.
If you have already written and heard nothing, write again. Things get missed.

There is one inbox and one person reading it.

Everything eventually gets a reply. If it has been more than a fortnight, the message has been missed rather than ignored, and a second one is welcome.
