Subject: Oral History Training

If you are doing an oral history project or are thinking about doing
one, you should apply to attend this year's Oral History Institute, June
3-5 on the beautiful campus of Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio.  The
program trains participants in planning and conducting successful oral
history projects.  Emphasizing hands-on experience, topics covered in
the two-and-a-half-day schedule include framing questions, interviewing
techniques, transcribing and archiving, and devising public programs
based on oral history.  To develop these skills, participants will work
on a practice project that encompasses all stages of oral history and
will also have time to consult with experts about planned projects.
Sessions will also be available on videotaping interviews and on
fundraising.



The faculty consists of professors from the fields of History,
Sociology, Archiving, and Telecommunications who all have extensive
experience with Oral History.



We encourage volunteers or paid staff from local historical
organizations, libraries, schools, and colleges and universities to
apply.  Admission to the institute is limited to thirty and is
competitive.  The cost of the institute is $250, which includes two
nights stay, six meals, and all workshop materials.  The Ohio Humanities
Council is making available partial scholarships for Ohio residents to
subsidize the cost of the institute. You can download an application
from www.ohiohumanities.org, or contact the Ohio Humanities Council at
(800) 293-9774 or frankd at ohiohumanities.org.  The application deadline
is May 2.



The Oral History Institute is co-sponsored by the Ohio Humanities
Council and The Rural Life Center at Kenyon College, in cooperation with
Ohio Association of Historical Societies and Museums and the Ohio
Historical Society.
