Aural history

Aural history is a method of studying the past through sound recordings, such as interviews, speeches, music, and oral traditions. It focuses on capturing and analyzing auditory sources to understand people's experiences, perspectives, and culture over time. This approach allows scholars to access voices and stories that might not be recorded in written documents, providing a richer, more personal glimpse into history. By listening to these sounds, researchers can gain insights into historical events, social changes, and individual identities, making history more immediate and relatable through sound.
