What is oral history and why do we do it?  \nDepending on who you talk to, oral history has its roots in the invention of the tape recorder in the 1930s and the subsequent establishment of the Center for Oral History at Columbia University in 1948 or in the field of popular education spearheaded by such radical leaders as Myles Horton, Septima Clark, Ella Baker, and Paolo Freire.1 The former tends to emphasize indebtedness to developments in audio recording and storage and the technological ability to“save” living memory from disappearance into time. It leads us to formal interview practices that have resulted in the archival recovery of thousands of life and topical histories that would otherwise have been lost to researchers, communities, and policy makers--or everyone and anyone who might benefit from the rooted lessons of the past and their budding implications for a vital present and future. The latter emphasizes the capacity of people to whom the Columbia program did not originally reach out—people whose histories have been discounted, dismissed, and denied or who do not otherwise have access to “official” means of representation—to claim their place on the stage of history. In the early 1960s historians like Paul Thompson began to see the democratizing potential of oral history and the possibilities it offered not only for filling gaps in official records but for breaking open those records to accounts of people and experiences generally “written off” the pages of history.2 Oral history could advance accounts of first peoples, immigration, labor, gender, race and wealth and so  \nwould soon became a signature part of the new “social history” or history from the bottom up.  \nOral history disrupts conventional history from the perspective of those who made it. It recognizes that any one story is threaded through with many others3 and respects multiple ways of knowing and ideas born of experience.4 It values the perspectives of people whose histories are generally excised from textbooks at least in part because they threaten to change the dominant stories we tell ourselves about ourselves. It allows for the complex, subjective life of historical agents to rise to the surface and tunes in to the tactical politics by which people","cbCaisUqmDgid2rn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisUqmDgid2rn","pdf",2072846,"English","# Welcome to Oral History at the Jackson Center\n## What is oral history and why do we do it?\n## Some guidelines for MCJC interviews\n## Community-first ethics: “Your Story, Your Rights”\n# Getting Ready for the Interview\n## Interview Overview\n## Before Anything Else: The MCJC Interview Preparation Guide\n## Asking Good Questions\n## Interview Practice Scenarios\n## Setting Up the Interview\n## Recording Logistics and How to Submit Files\n## Forms to Take With You\n# The Interview Agreement Form\n# Life History Form\n# Proper Word Form\n# After the Interview\n## Interview Processing Checklist\n## Processing the Interview: Frame it up\n## Processing the Interview: Write it down\n## What is transcription and how to do it\n## Transcription guidelines\n## Transcription software: Express Scribe\n## Reference Support\n## Key Dates in Northside History\n## Suggested Readings and Resources\n# Appendices\n## Forms and Templates\n## Samples","[{\"question\":\"What is oral history and why does MCJC use it?\",\"answer\":\"Oral history preserves living memory through recorded interviews while enabling people to claim their place in historical accounts.
