I wish I could say this project was well planned and researched from the beginning, but it wasn't. Inspired by Eliot Wigginton's Foxfire, it gestated for over 15 years. After many false starts it just happened. In fact it is still happening. My students and I have encountered many bumps along the road. We have learned by doing and we have met many others along the way and we have learned from them. In this section we will share what we know, and hope it will be of some benefit.
- How do you get the project started?
- How do you get students to do the interviews?
- Whom do they interview?
- What are the secrets to a good interview?
- What equipment is needed?
- How do you get the students to transcribe the interviews?
The links to the right will give more information about these topics. The site links below will offer a wealth of information about oral history and related topics.
