Welcome to Miniatures, the Podcast for the History of Everyday Life. We show how the big picture in history is best seen through the assemblage of individual and local stories, what the German historian Alf Lüdtke called ‘miniatures’. We discuss all aspects of the history of everyday life, microhistory, and ‘history from below’, featuring interviews and discussion with experts in the field. Between 2020 and 2024 this podcast was supported by the European Research Council as part of the 'Dictatorship as Experience Project' at the University of St Andrews.

Miniatures Episode 6: Stealing 99 Bottles of Alcohol - Military Tribunals & Memory Activism with Dr Claire Eldridge

Archives may be dusty places, but as Dr Claire Eldridge (University of Leeds) shows us they are far from being dry and emotionless ones. Drawing on her research on Algerian history and French colonialism, Claire discusses first how two groups of postcolonial migrants from Algeria to France remember the colonial past, and second what we can learn about soldiers’ lives during the First World War from the records of military tribunals.

This podcast was originally published on 28th October 2020 as part of the ERC research project ‘Dictatorship as experience: A comparative history of everyday life and the ‘lived experience’ of dictatorship in Mediterranean Europe (1922-1975)’ led by Prof. Kate Ferris at the University of St Andrews.
