The South Georgia Museum Ex-Whalers Oral History Project: recording the human history of the whaling industry

Abstract

In September 2011, a two-day conference, Managing Industrial and Cultural Heritage: South Georgia in Context, was hosted in Dundee in association with The International Committee for the Conservation of Industrial Heritage and the South Georgia Association. The conference aimed to decipher the future for South Georgia’s industrial heritage, contribute to the future heritage strategy for SGHT and create a decision-making framework to assist in the management of South Georgia’s industrial heritage sites.
