Preserving and sharing the Laboratory’s heritage

Oral Histories

As part of its regular activities, the EMBL Archive collects personal testimonies from past and current EMBL staff, as well as other individuals, creating a comprehensive collection of first-person interviews that provide insights into EMBL as a European scientific institution.

These interviews are primarily conducted by the EMBL Archivist and Records Manager, but also by other EMBL staff members. For example, Janet Thornton’s interview was conducted by Marc Green, EMBL-EBI’s first Head of Administration.

Additionally, Russ Hodge, Public Information Officer at EMBL in the 2000s, conducted a series of interviews for the EIROforum teaching kit on malaria.
