The OHA promotes best practices in oral history research and emphasizes its importance as a valuable method for understanding diverse perspectives and historical events. The organization also provides resources, training, and a network for researchers, educators, and practitioners interested in using oral history to enrich our understanding of the past and its impact on the present.
