Call for Volunteers: Inner Temple Oral History Project

The Inner Temple Archives is pleased to offer a limited number of last-minute opportunities for volunteers to join the continuation of its successful Oral History Project, originally established by Daire Brehan.

Members and students are invited to take part in interviewing some of the Inn’s senior barristers, along with long-serving staff and residents. This is a unique opportunity to help preserve the rich history and personal experiences of the Inner Temple community.

Successful applicants will receive training from an accredited trainer from the British Library’s Oral History Department. The session will cover interview techniques and guidance on effective questioning

Training date: 6 May 2026

Benefits of participation include:

• The opportunity to meet experienced barristers and gain insight into long and distinguished careers
• Development of research and interviewing skills
• Access to a wealth of history, anecdote, and insight from the Inn
