Dear all,
Please find below details of the Oral History Network of Ireland's third conference - Making Connections: Oral History and Community - to be held in Kilkenny City, 12 - 13th September 2014.
The collections department at the Minnesota Historical Society is reviewing and updating it's collecting policy. Specifically we are rewriting the Oral History Collecting Policy segment.
I'd be very interested to chat with anyone at an institution that collects oral history projects (as opposed to creating oral history projects). Do you have a formal policy in place? If so I'd love to chat with you about any challenges, issues, or insights you have.
Feel free to comment here or email me directly at Ryan.Barland@mnhs.org
