In the mid-1990s I carried out a series of interviews with #homeless Irishmen living in Arlington House hostel in #London's Camden Town. Now the transcripts of those interviews are being brought back to life by the Irish in Britain project.

Over the past year, we’ve been working with residents and neighbours of Summervale and Crossbank towers in Oldham, to capture their stories of what it was like to live and work in and around the towers. The result of that work is finally public, and you can explore it by going to https://towersoldham.uk!

Something wholesome from the #archive, very heartwarming thing said to the interviewer at the end of an #OralHistory interview (May 1979): "You have listened to me ramble off and you have asked me some good questions and I appreciate people like you very much. You're not just sitting back and letting the world go by."

Working with #oralhistory is a delicate and meticulous effort, especially for someone like me who has recently "joined" this field. However, it is also an enriching experience as it brings you face-to-face with individuals willing to open the intimate drawers of their #memories to you. Even if the task of transcribing these accounts might seem interminable at times, approaching the end of the journey becomes deeply rewarding.

Sind Interviews mit Zeitzeug:innen tatsächlich Bürger:innenforschung?

Was ist #OralHistory, was nicht - und inwiefern unterscheidet sich #CitizenScience davon?

Diesen Frage geht @Kristin_oswald im Blog ➡ Bürger - Künste - Wissenschaft nach und schlägt vor, wie Oral History in Citizen Science-Projekte integriert werden kann 👇

My latest for @BaltimoreHistories: the final installment of the series "#Baltimore LGBTQIA+ Histories and the Peabody Ballroom #OralHistory Interviews." I write, "History is important, inclusion is important, and these are inexplicably intertwined in ballroom."

3) A light oral history of the sweet spot between cell phone ubiquity and home internet circa 2002, when being off work meant your time was (somewhat) your own

"Could things really have been so different just a few short decades ago? Was the last era before smartphones the last time anyone had any fun? Can a modern young person ever understand what it was like to simply watch whatever happened to be on television?"

Do you know cursive? If so, the
National Archives needs YOU to help transcribe pension records from the #AmericanRevolution! These are transcripts of oral histories given by the #veterans themselves (or their surviving family members) and offer absolutely fascinating insights into the realities of the time. https://www.archives.gov/citizen-archivist/missions/revolutionary-war-pension-files
