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.	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.
