Digital Oral History Method

The digital oral history method is a qualitative research approach in which personal testimonies and lived experiences are elicited through recorded interviews, then preserved, managed, and disseminated using digital technologies. Building on the established oral history tradition, the digital variant leverages audio and video recording equipment, digital archiving platforms, and online dissemination channels to expand access, ensure long-term preservation, and enable richer multi-modal analysis of narrator accounts.
