Final deposit of 28 interviews from Wellcome funded project history of mammalian developmental biology in the UK (360G-Wellcome-096679_Z_11_Z)

We have conducted, transcribed, edited and annotated most of 29 interviews with key figures in the field of mammalian developmental biology in the postwar period in the UK as part of a previous Wellcome funded project (RG50521) and we are seeking to deposit these, along with supporting archival material (where available) and original copies of the digital audio files (where permitted), in the British Library,. to contribute to their oral history project, and to augment their collection on the history of the life sciences. In order to complete this task we face a final hurdle, which is the completion of the extensive copyright permission paperwork required for deposit in BL. We are therefore seeking funds to employ a summer assistant to aid with this final stage in our project. We will also ask the assistant to do a final edit of all transcripts and a minimal amount of metadata for them for future reference. They will also assist with the necessary formatting of the transcripts to the BL requirements. We estimate approximately 10 hours per interview will be needed, and are thus seeking funds for 300 hours of work.
