Conducting an oral history interview
with a friend or family member is a great way to not only learn more about
their lives, but also capture those memories for future historians. And there’s
no reason why they can’t be done while “socially distanced”! Join archivists
Jennifer Shaffer Merry and Perri Pyle to learn more about how to conduct an
oral history interview when you can’t be face-to-face. We’ll discuss important
steps like defining your purpose, asking the right questions, and using the
right consent forms, as well as the ins and outs of how to record and store a
virtual interview. History is happening now - and you can be a part of
recording it!
