Event Postponed
Sadly, due to the COVOD-19 lockdown, we have had to postpone this event.
We hope to be able to have in-person seminars and workshops in Canberra soon, and we are also working on online versions of these events and will have news on these soon.
Oral History NSW presents a practical workshop for all interested in recording the experiences of family, friends, local communities, history of museum items or any other project incorporating memories of the past.
This popular and informative workshop will equip you to undertake your own oral history interviews. Workshop leaders will be Shirleene Robinson, an experienced oral historian and Andrew Host, whose 40 years of experience as a sound engineer can help you get quality recordings that will stand the test of time.
Topics include:
• introduction to oral history and the nature and reliability of memory
• preparing and structuring an oral history interview
• ethical issues, ownership, copyright and appropriate documentation
• choosing and using a digital recorder
• processing the interview – preparing a summary log
• interview transcription, aided by free downloadable software
• saving sound files, storage and preservation
This workshop builds on the OHA Oral History Handbook available for purchase from Oral History Australia.
