About
Colchester Recalled is a voluntary group compiling an archive of recorded memories about Colchester & District over the past 100 years. They have completed more than 3,000 hours of recording, mostly interviews with over 1,000 local people, but also live recordings of local events as they happened (for example the Woolworths Fire of 1973). They have also produced several CDs made up of 'sound bites' taken from our interviews which are available to buy.
The archive is stored in the Colchester Museum Resource Centre, but public-access copies of all the tapes are held at the Albert Sloman Library at the University of Essex, and at the Essex Record Office in Chelmsford.
We hold a monthly meeting.
We publish a magazine available to the public.
We record the memories of our local people.
A working party indexes and digitises our large collection of recordings.
