Welcome to this episode in the new series of Local History Matters, the podcast run by the British Association for Local History (BALH) to highlight hidden local histories. In this series, we will be discussing with researchers how they got into their field of study, and what their topic can tell us about local history more generally.
In this episode, our Social Media Fellow Megan Kelleher chats with Elizabeth Szarelis. Elizabeth has recently completed a Bachelor’s degree in History at the University of Nottingham. She and her father, Michael, set up the Retford Remembrance Project in Nottinghamshire during the centenary in order to ensure that the war dead of their home community were remembered locally. This has recently included placing signs in local cemeteries to map out where the war graves are, and creating ceremonies associated with remembrance within that community. Elizabeth shared more about her research and the impact of the Retford Remembrance Project with Megan.
