variety of topics

The Smithsonian Folklife and Oral History Interviewing Guide [pdf]
http://www.folklife.si.edu/resources/pd ... gGuide.pdf

Oral history is in some ways the oldest form of expression, as people have
told one another stories since the time of the first human societies.
People have continued to grow more interested in recording the voices and
experiences of others throughout the past few decades, and the works of
such popular authors as Studs Terkel have kept oral histories in the
limelight. For those persons interested in learning more about how to
conduct such
interviews, this guide from the Smithsonian Institute will be quite
intriguing and useful. Authored by Marjorie Hunt, this 35-page guide
offers a broad interview on how to conduct effective oral history projects
and interviews. The guide also offers information on how to present the
findings that are collected through such a project (such as a scrapbook),
along with providing a list of web-based and print resources. [KMG]
