The Oral History Centre of the Alexander Turnbull Library is offering workshops for people considering using oral history in their work, community or personal projects. The workshops will be tutored by Judith Fyfe, oral historian and lawyer, and Lynette Shum, Oral History Adviser, Alexander Turnbull Library. By the end of the workshop participants should have a basic understanding of how to record an oral history interview, and what to do with it afterwards. The course is limited to 16 participants. The fee includes morning and afternoon tea. Day one: An introduction to oral history methodology. How to plan an oral history project, choose the best equipment, achieve clear audio recordings, select informants, follow ethical procedures, develop questioning techniques, process oral history and make the material available for use. Bring a recorder if you have one you intend to use for recording. Exercises to be completed before Day Two will be discussed. Day two: Recording seriously. This workshop will build on the introductory course, reviewing work completed and covering in more detail interview techniques, project planning and technical, ethical, and legal issues. You must have recorded some oral history interviews before enrolling for the second workshop. Email Lynette Shum for more information. Download the registration form (pdf, 296KB) |
