“Telling Stories:
Setting up an Oral History Project”

 

by Daniel Clark, Oakland University

 

Learn more and register on our website.

The practice of conducting oral interviews is a major accomplishment and an important step to preparing a larger historical project. Those looking to start an oral history project will not want to miss this workshop, which will cover the process of identifying interviewees, developing questionnaires, and conducting interviews. Attendees will also learn the importance of organizing and maintaining oral histories so that they can be accessed by researchers in the future.

 

New for 2017! Participants can now “attend” our Lansing-based workshops remotely, if they prefer. See our website for full details. (Remote access is not available for off-site workshops.)
