Practicing Oral History to Connect University to Community
Practicing Oral History to Connect University to Community illustrates best practices for using oral histories to foster a closer relationship between institutions of higher learning and the communities in which they are located. Using case studies, the book describes how to plan and execute an oral history project that can help break down walls and bring together universities and their surrounding communities. It offers advice on how to locate funding sources, disseminate information about the results of a project, ensure the long-term preservation of the oral histories collected, and incorporate oral history into the classroom. Bringing together "town and gown," the book demonstrates how different communities can work together to discover new research opportunities and methods for preserving history. Supported by examples, sample forms, and online resources, the book is an important resource both for oral historians and those working to improve relationships between university institutions and their neighboring communities.
In Other Words
Most people have some idea of what pioneer life was like for those settling the American West from history books, novels and movies. Yet few have learned about Western settlement from the pioneers themselves, in their own words. Taking this new tack is In Other Words, a collection of oral histories about life in the old West from the Pioneer era to Prohibition, as told by those who experienced it. Maria Rogers culled taped interviews of more than 180 men and women who lived in Colorado in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to present this kaleidoscope of impressions and memories that tell a uniquely American story.
