Abstract "Oral History: A Very Short Introduction explores the dynamic field of oral history, from interviewing techniques to archival preservation. Douglas A. Boyd examines recording strategies, accessibility technologies, and the ethical and legal challenges inherent in oral history. This VSI highlights the interview as a balance of strategy and adaptability, memory and omission, narrative and silence. Boyd also examines archives and the expanding digital landscape, which enhance oral history's accessibility for scholarly, public, community, and personal use. Offering a concise yet comprehensive overview, this book introduces readers to a rapidly evolving discipline that extends far beyond storytelling"-- Provided by publisher.
