Samenvatting	Visual elicitation oral history is a qualitative method that uses photographs, objects, maps, or other visual materials as prompts during oral history interviews. By placing a tangible visual anchor before the narrator, the researcher unlocks richer, more detailed memories and personal meanings than spoken questions alone typically produce. The approach merges John Collier Jr.'s photo-elicitation technique with oral history's commitment to capturing first-person lived experience across time.	Oral history is a qualitative research method that collects, preserves, and interprets first-person spoken accounts of past events, experiences, and social processes. By recording in-depth interviews with individuals who witnessed or participated in historical events, oral historians document perspectives that written records often exclude. The method bridges historical scholarship and social science, treating the narrator's memory, subjectivity, and voice as primary evidence rather than as limitations to be corrected.
