If you are doing an oral history project or are thinking about doing<br>
one, you should apply to attend this year's Oral History Institute,
June<br>
6-8 on the beautiful campus of Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio.
The<br>
program trains participants in planning and conducting successful
oral<br>
history projects. Emphasizing hands-on experience, topics covered
in<br>
the two-and-a-half-day schedule include framing questions,
interviewing<br>
techniques, transcribing and archiving, and devising public programs<br>
based on oral history. To develop these skills, participants will
work<br>
on a practice project that encompasses all stages of oral history
and<br>
will also have time to consult with experts about planned projects.<br>
Sessions will also be available on videotaping interviews and on<br>
fundraising.<br><br>
The faculty consists of professors from the fields of History,<br>
Sociology, Archiving, and Telecommunications who all have extensive<br>
experience with Oral History.<br><br>
We encourage volunteers or paid staff from local historical<br>
organizations, libraries, schools, and colleges and universities to<br>
apply. Admission to the institute is limited to thirty and is<br>
competitive. The cost of the institute is $250, which includes
two<br>
nights stay, six meals, and all workshop materials. The Ohio
Humanities<br>
Council is making available partial scholarships for Ohio residents
to<br>
subsidize the cost of the institute. You can download an application<br>
from

www.ohiohumanities.org</a>, or contact the Ohio Humanities Council
at<br>
(800) 293-9774 or frankd@ohiohumanities.org. The application
deadline<br>
is May 1.<br><br>
The Oral History Institute is co-sponsored by the Ohio Humanities<br>
Council and The Rural Life Center at Kenyon College, in cooperation
with<br>
Ohio Association of Historical Societies and Museums and the Ohio<br>
Historical Society.<br><br>
