AskUs!: Oral History
How does the Center decide whom to interview?
Answer
The Williams Center chooses interviewees whose recollections best fit within one of our projects. If you know someone whose life experience fits within within one of our projects, let us know about that person and why you think their stories would contribute to our oral history collection. To nominate someone for an interview, complete and return our bio data form. However, due to limited resources, a better alternative may be to interview the person yourself. We can provide guidance and training in oral history techniques so that you can interview people whose stories and memories deserve preservation.
