Year: 2018
Type: other
Abstract: The “Our Memory - Stories of Jordanian Oral Memory in the Twenty-first Century” archival fonds gathers documents from the oral history project conducted in 2018 and 2019 by French, Jordanian and German institutions: the Goethe Institute, the French Institute of Jordan, the French Institute for the Near East, the Department of the National Library of Jordan, the Yarmouk University, the Mutah University, Al-Hussein Bin Talal University and the University of Jordan. In the first year of the project - 2018 -, the surveys covered the period of the First World War in Jordan. On the strength of this first experience, the students continued their field surveys during the second year on the theme of sites of memory. The MMSH sound archives centre provided the Department of the National Library of Jordan, which is responsible for the preservation of the documents, with its tools for the promotion of archives. The archival fonds includes 47 hours and 13 minutes of sound recordings, 420 photographs (among which eighty-one have been download on the MediHal platform) and seven short videos.
