2.21. Nuts and Bolts: The Craft of Doing Oral History
It's the second season of the More and More Every Day Podcast. Join us every day for short (10 minute) episodes to talk all things oral history and challenge yourself with a daily oral history prompt.
Today's prompt: Take time today to read about the craft of oral history. And reflect on these questions: Before you started doing these challenges, what did you think oral history entailed? And now that you’ve done some research today, how (if at all) have your opinions on oral history changed?
Today's Resources:
Oral History Association: Ethics, Consent, and Best Practices:
- Donald Ritchie: Doing Oral History: A Practical Guide
- Donna DeBlasio et al., Catching Stories: A Practical Guide to Oral History
- Minnesota Historical Society: "Oral History Project Guide"
- Sady Sullivan with Maggie Schreiner, "If You’re Thinking About Starting An Oral History Project"
- Arizona Historical Society, Oral History Workshop Handout
