In honor of Oral History, this week's featured site is:


Oral History Society
http://www.oralhistory.org.uk

The Oral History Society is a national and international organisation dedicated to the collection and preservation of oral history. It encourages people of all ages to tape, video or write down their own and other people's life stories. It offers practical support and advice about how to get started, what equipment to use, what techniques are best, how to look after tapes, and how to make use of what you have collected.

Good Luck!
