Abstract
This article seeks to describe how children of 7 to 10 years of age can acquire certain historical skills through oral history work, and suggests that the practice of oral history may have qualities that make it particularly suited to the development of these skills. Two classes, one of 7-8 year olds, the other of 9-10 year olds, were involved in a project that looked at the history of their inner London school, and focussed particularly on the school's evacuation to Wiltshire in 1939. Although the work stretched over five months, it was not continuous Christmas and other priorities intervened and most of the work was concentrated in two months in the spring of 1983. !
