Curating Community Voices: A Virtual Workshop on Presenting Oral Histories in Digital Format

Are you interviewing people in your neighborhood, family, or friends for a project? Have you thought about where and how the interviews will be presented online? Oral histories are living documents and they deserve platforms as intentional as the people who contributed to them. Whether you are working with stories for a neighborhood project, a family archive, or a larger research initiative, you will leave this workshop with practical skills to bring your interviews online with care and purpose. Participants will discuss transcripts, audio and video formats, indexing an interview, and the kind of materials that might make an oral history more accessible and meaningful to the audience. This hands-on virtual workshop will present examples of curated oral histories using Omeka S, a free and open-source tool used by museums, libraries, and community organizations to publish and preserve digital collections. No prior experience with Omeka S or other tools is required.
