Do you know someone who directs or knows a person who runs an #OralHistory program? Would they be willing to do an informal interview with me about their operations? I’m doing an environmental scan and putting together a “business plan” for my library’s digital scholarship center. @digitalhumanities @academicchatter @folklore @histodons
@katethornhill @digitalhumanities @academicchatter @folklore @histodons the School of Scottish Studies at Edinburgh University have been recording oral history for decades.
@katethornhill Nanci Young, college archivist, can speak to you about Smith College's impressive oral history program https://libraries.smith.edu/research-tools/smith-digital-collections/oral-histories
Caitlin Birch, now at James Madison University in Vrginia, ran Dartmouth College's oral history program https://www.dartmouth.edu/library/rauner/archives/oral_history/
@katethornhill I would be interested in seeing your library’s plan for an oral history program. We will be launching an oral history program soon.
@paigeroberts I’ll def share what I put together!
