摘要	Multiple case-based oral history is a qualitative research design that embeds oral history interviews within a multiple-case framework. Rather than collecting testimonies from a single community or site, the researcher deliberately selects two or more distinct cases — communities, cohorts, organisations, or geographic sites — gathers in-depth oral testimonies within each, and then conducts systematic cross-case comparison to identify both shared and divergent historical experiences.	Longitudinal oral history is a qualitative research design in which the same participants are interviewed repeatedly over an extended period — months or years — using open-ended, narrative-focused conversations. By revisiting participants at multiple points in time, the researcher traces how individuals construct, revise, and reinterpret their personal stories as their lives unfold, capturing not just retrospective accounts but the dynamic, evolving nature of memory and meaning-making.
