요약	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.	Life history research is a qualitative method that captures the full arc of an individual's life — or a significant portion of it — through extended biographical interviewing and analysis of personal documents. Rooted in early Chicago School sociology, the method treats each life story as a window into broader social, cultural, and historical forces. The researcher and participant co-construct a narrative account that illuminates how personal experience is shaped by, and in turn shapes, wider social structures and processes.
