How do you invite interviewees? How do you keep things on track? What does it cost?
About this Event

Running an oral history project is a lot of work! But the skills and best practices in this third core workshop in the DC Oral History Collaborative’s Training Series will help participants understand how to avoid getting bogged down in budgetary or scheduling challenges.

This session covers topics such as developing an organizing research question and overcoming common pitfalls and obstacles. Anxious about approaching potential interviewees, join us at this session for some practice!

This session will be led by oral historians Kristy Li Puma and Darby Hickey.
