Spoken History

The Inner Temple Archive has embarked on an exciting project, to build an oral history of the Inn. It is anticipated that the archive will continue to build and will include in the future, past and present staff and others with Inner Temple connections as well as benchers and members of Hall.

The first tranch of interviews recorded, edited and compiled by the late Daire Brehan, Master of the Bench, was completed on 27 June 2011.
