Giving Voice: Interpreting & Preserving Oral Histories
Presented by the Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts 

November 6, 2013 
Philadelphia, PA 

Hosted and co-sponsored by: 
The Athenaeum of Philadelphia 

With countless advances made in audiovisual technology during the 20th
century, libraries, archives, museums, and historical societies, as well
as families and individuals, set out to capture the stories of the past
through recordings.  This oral history material was preserved using
magnetic recording tapes, film, and digital formats-many now obsolete.
While of great value and worthy of preservation, any oral history
material in a collection should be considered at-risk until an
institution conscientiously develops strategies to preserve it.  

This national conference, intended for archivists, librarians,
collections managers, and any other collections staff working with oral
histories, brings together noted historians and preservation experts to
discuss best practices and methods for capturing and sharing oral
histories.  

Topics include:
*Best practices for collecting stories
*Basic principles for managing oral histories within your repository
*Strategies for preserving audiovisual materials
*Access
*Outreach and exhibition
*Reaching and documenting underrepresented groups
