“Information in this day and age is rarely scarce, but often not
collected and saved properly for future generations. However, one national
project under the leadership of oral historian Doug Boyd,
director of the Louie B. Nunn Center
for Oral History at University of Kentucky
Libraries, hopes to remedy that through the dissemination of best practices
via the Oral History in the Digital Age
(OHDA).”
“Funded by the Institute of Museum
and Library Services (IMLS) and hosted online by Matrix at Michigan State University
(MSU), OHDA currently contains around 70 essays by experts and leading
practitioners around the country on best practices for collecting, curating and
disseminating oral history; the "Thinking
Big" video series; and links to nearly 200 best
practices documents online.”
