The Oral History Manual is a comprehensive and user-friendly book designed to take novice or experienced oral historians through the entire life cycle of creating an oral history project, from idea through planning, interviewing, caring for, and making oral history interviews accessible.
The new fourth edition includes updated information on:
- Evolving technology, including the use of—and challenges associated with—automated transcription apps;
- Ethical and practical considerations related to oral history and social justice, including interviews with people experiencing trauma; and
- Challenges associated with real-time interviews conducted in the wake of natural and human-caused disasters.
The book also provides readers with background on the evolution of oral history practice and includes appendices with sample forms that oral historians will find useful as they develop their own projects.
