Using Oral History: Publications, Exhibits, Internet
Many institutions and organizations that hold oral history collections seek ways to share these unique and valuable resources with expanded audiences. The workshop instructor explores traditional outreach tools (such as publications, exhibits, and audio and video programs) as well as newer technologies, including the Internet and podcasting. You’ll receive practical information that will help you develop and implement oral history-based forms of outreach, and you'll gain a clear understanding of the advantages and challenges of using oral histories.
Instructor: Fred Calabretta is curator of collections and oral historian at Mystic Seaport, and previously worked for nine years as the Museum's Sound Archivist. He curated an exhibition titled the Stonington Fishing Fleet: Tradition and Transition, which was based on a three-year oral history project documenting the lives and traditions of Connecticut's last remaining commercial fishing fleet. He has conducted several hundred audio and video oral history interviews, and directed a number of oral history projects. He has a long list of experience and publications related to oral history.
