Description: The following questionnaire was specifically developed for use with the Jewish community and is an important list of useful questions that can be used as part of the oral history interviewer's tool kit. It is not the intention that all of the questions are used everytime, but that they meant that you never need to be without a relevant question to ask that should prompt historically interesting answers.

Description: If an interview is to be of use as an historical source it is important that the recording should be of reasonable technical quality. This may be readily obtained with modern equipment such as DAT or other electronic recorders. Before first interviewing, experiment with your recording equipment to make sure you get a good quality of recording.

Description: This education pack is intended for pupils at Key Stages 2 and 3, though it could also be used with older learners. Teachers can adapt and use the materials as they see fit, across all the key stages. Our intention is to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Northampton Hebrew Congregation by describing briefly the history of our community, and the ways we celebrate our festivals. We want to give you a view of Judaism, as practised in Northampton, 'from the inside'. This pack is thus a guide, not only to our synagogue, but also to our values and way of life. Enjoy!

Description: At JTrails we have often been asked how to reserch a synagogue history. Now this guide will explain how to research, write and present the history of a synagogue and its community. It will describe the research process you might go through and the kinds of sources that will be useful. It also suggests how you might publish and present the history of a synagogue and share it with others. This presentation was written by Marcus Roberts for the JTrails and Building on History Project.
