Collecting memories: European Parliament 1979-2019
The oral history project ‘Collecting memories: European Parliament 1979-2019’ was launched to mark the 40th anniversary of the first direct elections to the Parliament.
The project aims to use the personal recollections of Members of the European Parliament who witnessed the changing role of the institution as a way of assessing what the Parliament has and has not achieved since 1979.
The project includes interviews with MEPs that were conducted by a research team consisting of Alfredo De Feo, Francis Jacobs, Gerard Laprat, Dietmar Nickel and Michael Shackleton – all former staff of the Parliament.
The project received support from the Historical Archives of the European Union, the Former Members Association of the European Parliament and Professor Christine Neuhold at Maastricht University in the Netherlands.
