Their Finest Hour

Their Finest Hour

by

A series of podcasts from Oxford University’s ‘Their Finest Hour’ project. Led by the Faculty of English, this project aims to collect stories, objects, and memories around British involvement in the Second World War using Oxford’s Community Collection Model (OCCM). The podcasts will cover what the project is about, how it works, what it is trying to achieve, but also will take deeper looks at material that is submitted and the range of research going on in the field at Oxford. This project is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
