SHOMI Oral History Guide

INTRODUCTION

Oral history refers to the recording of information through interviews with people having firsthand knowledge of past events.

It might be said that we have an almost instinctive desire to pass on our knowledge to future generations and to receive the acquired wisdom of our elders. We have all had the experience of listening to someone tell an interesting story and thought, “Someone really should record this.”
