School meals! Solid glaring from this child of 1960, as she waits for her dinner to be flung onto a plate The National Union of Teachers' archive is a great source on changing attitudes and campaigns relating to food in schools over the past 100 years

Front cover of 1960 National Union of Teachers' pamphlet on school meals. It is illustrated with a photo of a child glaring at the camera, past the hand of an adult about to fling a lump of mash onto an underwhelming looking dinner.

New this week in the Society's journal 'Transactions'

'Transcription and Recognition in the Oral History Interview', by Lucy Newby and Fearghus Roulston bit.ly/4cRm9f8.

How does creative transcription affect the reception and understanding of complex historical narratives? #Skystorians 1/2

Front page of new Transactions article: 'Transcription and Recognition in the Oral History Interview', by Lucy Newby and Fearghus Roulston.

Full abstract: 'Transcription is a key part of oral history practice. Transcribed text is often the main way in which a wider audience engages with an oral history interview, and even as the possibilities for digital and multimedia presentation become wider, text remains an important component of how interviews are received and understood. Drawing on examples from our research on memories of the Troubles in Ireland, we argue that oral historians need to think creatively and conceptually about the effects of transcription, particularly in terms of how complex narratives are received and understood. We offer some examples of how creative forms of transcription can shape engagement with these narratives and with ideas of composure, coherence and memory.'
