Or perhaps you've already tried and wondered:
- Am I asking the right questions?
- How do I keep the conversation going?
- Is there a better / easier way to record it?
Whether you're just getting started or want to improve your skills, this seminar has something for you.
Join us on Thursday 29 October, 1 - 4pm on Zoom for Getting Started with Oral History: Every Story Matters - a practical session for anyone wanting to capture the stories and memories that might be otherwise be lost.
Discover how to:
- ask better questions that encourage people to share their stories
- keep conversations flowing and gently get them back on track
- use simple technology to make better recordings
- handle sensitive subjects and understand consent
- preserve and share your recordings.
You'll see and hear real examples, learn from experienced family historians and have plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
After the previous seminar, attendee, Paula, commented:
The oral history seminar was informative, thought-provoking, and inspiring. The presenters were fantastic, providing a good balance of practical tips and personal examples. Definitely one of the best GSV webinars I’ve attended.
