What is Oral History

Communities are writing their own histories

An oral history is an interview that records a person’s recollection of experiences, thoughts, and feelings about a specific event or a period oftime. Oral history is both the oldest type of historical inquiry, predating the written word, and one of the most modern, initiated with tape recorders in the 1940s and now using 21st century digital technologies.
