Planning Oral History Projects Workshop at the DC History Conference

Join us for this special workshop at the DC History Conference. The session is co-presented by the DC History Center, The DC Oral History Collaborative and Oral History in the Mid-Atlantic Region (OHMAR).

Running an oral history project is a lot of work! But the skills and best practices in this 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 historian Darby Hickey.
