Community Oral History Toolkit
Autor Mary Kay Quinlan, Barbara W. Sommer, Nancy MacKayen Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 iul 2026
Updating the original five-volumes into a one-volume publication, the book covers guidelines on thinking through legal needs and ethical issues, the interview process with information on standards, tips on in-person and distance interviewing, interview preparation, question-asking techniques, documenting interview information, and, moving to the final steps, guides for preservation and ongoing access of oral histories. The authors illustrate this work with examples of worldwide community-based oral history projects and individual profiles, while describing the projects' process and outcomes. It also includes sample forms for recordkeeping and updated technology guidelines, as well as resources for community oral historians to stay ahead of changes in the field. The final chapter takes an in-depth look at six community-based projects, each unique in their place and purpose, but all based in the scaffolding of the oral history process.
Community Oral History Toolkit will be of interest to oral history, anthropology, and sociology students, as well as practicing and professional historians.

Recenzii
"Oral history work undertaken by community members is extremely valuable for increasing representation for a richer historical perspective. Focusing on the planning process through a targeted toolkit for community practitioners is key to nurturing this work now and as a lasting effort for future generations."
Sarah Milligan, Hyde Family Endowed Professor and Department Head, Oklahoma Oral History Research Program, Oklahoma State University Libraries, President, Oral History Association
"When a group comes together to embark on a community oral history project wonderful things happen but challenges can also arise! The wealth of knowledge and experience conveyed in this book will help practitioners to plan, carry out, share and celebrate their work alongside navigating any bumps in the road."
Sarah Lowry, oral historian, Oral History Society trainer and mentor, London, UK
"After 25 years of being involved in oral history projects in my rural corner of the UK, I’m convinced that it’s one of the best ways of bringing a community together. All those involved learn from each other, discover things they never knew about their locality and leave a legacy for future generations. As well as the knowledge, stories and intelligible heritage collected, new skills are learnt and new friendships made. One generation is effectively ‘handing over’ its history to the next."
