IET@150 My story - an oral history project

Listen to some of the stories from our oral history project as members, volunteers and staff recall their time with the Institution.

As a legacy of the IET@150 anniversary the IET Archives, working with the IET Communities department and the IET History of Technology TPN (Technical and Professional Network) embarked on an oral history project. 

The title for the project is 'My story' and continues the idea that we are capturing the 'unwritten' history of the institution; the memories, experience, and stories from IET (and predecessor organisations) members, volunteers and staff.  

This is a continuous project and the interviews will be added here once completed. 

If you are interested in learning more about this project or would like to get involved please contact the IET Archives.
