Hi there, I’m Lewis, an audio producer based in here in Fife and owner of Time Capsule Productions. I am launching a project in the not too distant future called ‘Life in Fife’ with the aim to record more everyday stories, preserve, and share them. But I need your help.

​

First a bit of project background:

I want to record the aural histories of local community groups, charities, businesses and people of Fife. This project will help to prevent the loss of local knowledge and aim to highlight groups that people can get involved with and connect local communities.

​

These will be kept in an online archive for anyone to access, listen and learn all about Fife’s people.

​

On top of this there will be an accompanying podcast to spread the word of Fife, past and present. The podcast will contain archive content that has been edited into shorter, easy to listen to episodes.

​

This is a great way to connect different generations of people to local stories.

​

This is for people who have an interest in Fife and Scotland’s history, people who are interested in hearing people’s stories and those who want to learn more about our wee Kingdom. This will help museums and cultural archives build their catalogue of oral histories. Schools can access these recordings and learn from people in their own words. The elderly and people in care can also listen and reminisce or find out what’s new in their community.

​

This project has already gained some interest and support through winning the People’s Choice award at the Create in Kirkcaldy Creative Soup in November last year.

​

What I need from you:

I’m putting together a crowdfunder to help fund this project. Right now I am gauging interest from any community groups, charities, businesses, organisations and individuals in Fife that would be interested in either financially supporting this project or even just taking part and having your stories recorded and shared.

​

The money would be used for website design & hosting, podcast hosting, branding, marketing, travel and my own time.

​

Please share this with anyone you think would be interested and you can send me an email at lewis@timecapsuleproductions.co.uk to express your interest or ask for more details.
