Description

The third book in the five-volume Community Oral History Toolkit takes the planning steps outlined in Volume 2 and puts them into action. It provides the practical details for turning your plans into reality and establishes the basis for guiding your project through the interviews to a successful conclusion.

Project managers are given concrete, useful advice on how to manage people, money, technology, publicity, and administrative tasks from the beginning to the end of the project. Volume 3 outlines details for developing the necessary forms to properly administer a community oral history project (sample forms provided).

The authors advise how to recruit volunteers and interviewees and provide helpful tips for conducting thorough interview and transcription training sessions. They also explain how to make arrangements for the life and safety of the project once the interviews are complete.
