Abstract


This article considers the making of an archive of environmental activism
through the life histories of 100 campaigners involved in environmental protest,
projects and policy-making in the UK since the early 1970s. It explores the
challenge of representing the diversity of the environmental movement during
this period, the value of oral history in illuminating the experience of
campaigning and the career trajectories of activists, and the wider significance of
the National Life Stories model of oral history. Such national archives can provide
vital resources for intergenerational conversation, new thinking and new forms of
action designed to make a better world

🪧 Are the greatest protest movements born in the streets, where voices rise together in visible defiance, or in the courts, where laws and precedents can reshape society for generations?

✊⚖️ Where do you believe real change begins —and where does it last?
