Application are now closed for our introductory workshop on Saturday, March 2, 2019. You may be interested in our Advanced Oral History Summer Institute.

The one day introductory workshop tuition is $125 and is designed for people who are interested in an introduction to the basic practice of oral history and serves as a companion to our more in­-depth Advanced Oral History Summer Institute held in August.

This workshop focuses on the "nuts-­and-­bolts" of oral history including methodology and ethics, practice, and recording. It will be taught by our seasoned oral historians and include hands­-on practice exercises. Although space is strictly limited, everyone is welcome to attend the workshop, including community-­based historians, teachers, genealogists, public historians, and students in college or graduate school.

If you have specific questions, please contact Shanna Farrell at sfarrell@library.berkeley.edu.
