Contemporary Voices are collections of oral histories made by people of African heritage who have or have previously had a connection with Hull and East Yorkshire before 2007. The stories that are collected will reflect aspects of their lives or their family's lives which relate to their African origins and to more recent experiences within this region.
The project is mainly funded by Untold Hull. Untold Hull is an oral history project that records the stories and experiences of people who live, have lived or have experienced the city of Hull in some way. The stories will appear as audio recordings or videos and can be listened to and watched on the Untold Hull website. They will become a permanent part of the digital collections of Hull History Centre and Hull Library Service forming a unique social history archive.

Untold Hull is part of Hull Culture & Leisure Ltd and is funded by the James Reckitt Library Trust.

Many thanks go to our interviewer Jerome Whittingham. Jerome is a photographer, interviewer, and digital media producer living in Hull. He specialises in supporting the voluntary sector, both locally in Hull and regionally.
