Learn how to conduct an oral history


Oral history is both a research technique and a way of documenting and preserving stories and historical information. It provides a method to discover personal perspectives, gather detailed information on a wide range of subjects, and uncover the kind of history that often goes unwritten.

While it is not hard to do, it does take planning and preparation.
