Oral History: A Handbook is an authoritative and practical guide to the methodology of collecting, preserving, and interpreting personal testimonies as historical evidence. Written by three experienced practitioners, it instructs researchers, archivists, and community historians on every stage of the oral history process — from planning and conducting interviews to transcription, archiving, and ethical considerations. The handbook presents a rigorous yet accessible framework, making it an indispensable resource for students, academics, and cultural institutions alike. It argues convincingly that oral testimony is not merely a supplement to written records but a vital and irreplaceable dimension of historical understanding, particularly for communities whose stories have been overlooked by conventional archives.
