The Tuam Oral History Project (TOHP) is a survivor-led oral history project conducted by a team of multidisciplinary researchers at NUI Galway. This online event will feature a webinar with the historians leading the project, Dr Sarah-Anne Buckley and Dr John Cunningham, in conversation with representatives from the Tuam Home Alliance. It will also feature a filmed performance ‘Nochtaithe’ (Unveiled) by students from Drama and Theatre Studies at NUI Galway created in response to survivor testimony, including a performance from acclaimed musician Colm Mac Con Iomaire. The key aim of the Tuam Oral History Project is to enable the survivors of the Tuam institution and their families to tell their own life stories, in the way that they want them to be told. In that regard, members of the project team will record and archive the histories and life stories of survivors and their families, as well as the memories of others connected in any way with the institution or with those who spent time there.
