Zusammenfassung	Longitudinal oral history method is a qualitative research design in which the same participants are interviewed repeatedly over an extended period — months or years — using oral history interviewing techniques. By returning to narrators across time, researchers can trace how personal accounts, identities, and interpretations of experience shift and evolve, capturing the processual and biographical dimensions of social life that a single interview cannot reveal.	The oral history method is a qualitative research approach in which researchers conduct in-depth, recorded interviews with individuals who have direct personal experience of a historical event, social process, or community life. It captures subjective perspectives, memory, and lived experience that written records rarely preserve, making it indispensable for recovering voices absent from official archives — particularly those of marginalised communities, minority groups, and ordinary people.
