Workshop Description

Many institutions and organizations that hold oral history collections seek ways to share these unique and valuable resources with expanded audiences. The workshop instructor explores traditional outreach tools (such as publications, exhibits, and audio and video programs) as well as newer technologies, including the Internet and podcasting.

You’ll walk away with a greater appreciation of the broad range of opportunities for using oral histories in publications, programs, and other forms of outreach. You’ll receive practical information that will help you develop and implement oral history-based forms of outreach, and you’ll gain a clear understanding of the advantages and challenges of using oral histories.

In this workshop you’ll receive:

• Tools to identify and select specific forms of outreach; and
• Information and resources that will help you create and effectively manage forms of outreach.

Who should attend? If you’ve attended an introductory oral history workshop, or if you have a basic understanding and appreciation of the oral history process and an interest in using oral histories for programs and outreach, this workshop is for you!

Testimonials

When asked “what aspect of the workshop was most valuable to you?” responses included:

• “Discussion of audio and video editing tools was most valuable. I currently pay for an outside person to do simple editing when with this knowledge I realize I can do internally at much less cost.”
• “The editing experience because it enabled us to put into practice some of what we had just learned.”—Maria S. Jolley, The Catholic University of America
• “The use of actual examples was excellent. Fred [Calabretta] is a superb instructor, once again.”—Fran Jones, Director, California Judicial Center Library
