In the end, this means that more than 170 speakers can be heard in the archive, in two languages. We tried to be as democratic as possible about this, encouraging people from across the spectrum to give interviews, and trying to show everyone’s memories equal respect. If someone has lived here all their lives, or their mother’s family go back nine demonstrable generations, mustn’t they be a superior source? All of the seven landowners who control 96.5% of the island bar one are ‘absentees’, so how qualified are they? Some of them have a long history with the place, and in some cases, made big decisions which have influenced that history. Although the answer to that question could be more about how one behaves than one’s background, I myself, privileged to be the appointed ‘project officer’ arrived only five years ago, and some of the people most keen to give their time to the island are also relatively new. There’s been another interesting dynamic to manage here, besides trying to empower the volunteers, which is the ‘how Jura are you?’ question. Altogether, this means that more than 20% of the community have been involved in the endeavour ‘behind the scenes’. We had three students mucking in over the summer and an islander at a recording studio on board to produce a CD of some of the collected stories in the last quarter.

A third group of 22 volunteers materialised for training in computers and how to transcribe passages from the recordings resulting scripts were then published in the island’s monthly newsletter, the ‘Jura Jottings’. Another group of eight volunteers formed my ‘steering group’ who voted on key decisions about the details of design and execution. They’d originally won the funding from the Heritage Lottery and Argyll and the Islands’ LEADER programme 2007-13 (European money for rural areas). The project was hosted by a local charity, with six volunteer Directors to whom I’d to report every month. Working in this close community, with the sole responsibility of capturing, managing and protecting collective history while being accountable to every individual, I found it very difficult to keep this big job within its bounds! In a population of 200, you end up socialising with the same people you’ve been working with, and a lot is expected from the voluntary sector. The recordings reach back just far enough to graze the First World War and work forwards up to documentary-style capture of ‘the present’ – a day in the Jura Stores, or with the ‘Ferry boys’, preparing for ‘Ardlussa Sports’, or witnessing the renovation of the Lighthouse Station.
