תקציר	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.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.
