Creating Oral History Assignments for the Archives

n this workshop, participants will learn how to create oral history-based project assignments that include the legal documentation required to donate recordings to the archives and to make them accessible to future scholars, make recording decisions that can better ensure the long-term preservation of the recordings themselves, and create an awareness of metadata and transcription requirements that will facilitate ongoing access to the intellectual content of the oral histories.
