Longitudinal oral history method/Evidence
Method evidence record

Longitudinal oral history method

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.
