Oral History Handbook

An Oral History Handbook is a comprehensive guide that provides practical instructions for collecting, recording, and preserving people's personal stories and memories. It covers methods for interviewing, ethical considerations, technical aspects of recording, and ways to organize and share the collected material. The goal is to capture firsthand accounts of historical events, cultural traditions, or individual experiences to enrich understanding of the past. Essentially, it serves as a blueprint for researchers, archivists, or community members interested in documenting history through people's spoken words.
