Oral history focuses primarily on oral sources and composes histories by systematically recording, preserving, and interpreting living peoples’ stories, memories, and testimonies. The purpose of oral history is to bring together different kinds of evidence (sometimes undoubtedly conflicting) and to apply our judgment and understanding in composing a credible account, drawing on a range of private and public, spoken and documentary material. This booklet is intended for students, teachers, educators, and all those who have a special interest in recovering history through people’s stories.
