Example of Oral History

So sometimes I like to go on the website of my alma mater (The University of Texas at Austin) and check out what's happening with the school and the community. Well, I just looked at it now and they have a really interesting story on the front page regarding an oral history project students at the university have recently conducted. It focuses on African-American experiences with segregation in Austin back in the day, so I know it's not trash related, but I thought it was a good example for us to look at and to see what other students are doing with oral histories. There are also some cool audio clips accompanied with the article that I thought would give us a sense of how to conduct an interview, so check it out!

Thanks Jackie, The second one down the page is of really great quality. I had trouble with some words of the first interview, so that's when having a second person at the interview to recall the conversation could be useful if the quality or clarity of speech is a little hard to decipher. Thanks for the post.
