Workshop description:

Join us to learn about this treasured record found within many archival collections.

In this ½ day workshop, participants will learn strategies for managing legacy oral history collections and how to assess, appraise, and discuss best practices for digitizing existing interviews in your holdings. The second part of the workshop will review steps for establishing a new oral history program and consider topics including interview questions, consent forms, and review copyright and privacy considerations.

This workshop is designed for archivists, curators/collections managers, cultural knowledge keepers, and those responsible for managing, participating in, or preserving oral history records. 

Workshop slides and resources will be provided to participants before the training starts.
