Mini Oral History Assignment

Description (Dublin Core)

This week, you're going to practice oral histories, a form of field research. You'll conduct two mini oral histories with two adults aged over 60 years old.

1. Silver linings. Here is the prompt to read.

Here is an example from the archive (Links to an external site.).

First, identify two people you want to talk to and record. Ask them, if they will participate. Set a time to record. You may record an audio/video file using Zoom or another application. I used Rev on my phone to record my mom.

Steps to process the mini oral history (here's a video overview (Links to an external site.)):

1. Read the informed consent statement and record the interviewee's response.

2. Read the prompt.

3. Record the response.

4. Thank the interviewee for their time.

5. Create a transcription of the oral history. Follow this template. (You can manually type it out or use a program like Otter.ai- please check the transcript for accuracy).

6. Submit the audio file & copy and paste the transcript into the description field.

7. Share the story with this individual once it has been curated in the archive. Tag the story with HST494, Arizona State University, and SilverJOTPY



Submit the link to both your submitted stories in the archive. Your submission should 1) include verbal consent 2) An Mp3 file 3) a txt or doc transcript that has been edited for accuracy. 4) Title your story "Mini oral history with (interview first name and last name), date"
