Abstract:

"Doing Oral History has become one of the premier resources in the field of oral history. It explores all aspects of oral history, from starting an oral history project - including funding, staffing, and equipment - to conducting interviews, publishing, videotaping, preserving materials, teaching oral history, and using oral history in museums and on the radio. In this second edition, the author has incorporated new trends and scholarship, updated and expanded the bibliography and appendices, and added a new focus on digital technology and the Internet. Appendices include sample legal release forms and information on oral history organizations." "Doing Oral History is a definitive step-by-step guide that provides advice and explanations on how to create recordings that illuminate human experience for generations to come. Illustrated with examples from a wide range of projects, this guide offers clear, practical, and detailed advice for students, teachers, researchers, and amateur genealogists who wish to record the history of their own families and communities."--Jacket.
