Event: Getting Started with Oral Histories Plenary

The Digital Repository of Ireland is a member of the LIR Committee. Their mission is to keep librarians, academic librarians in particular, informed about technologies that affect their practice.

The LIR Committee has designed a ‘Getting Started with Oral Histories’ Plenary to equip academic librarians, and a broader audience of digital archivists, data stewards, researchers, and historians, with the knowledge and information necessary to plan an oral history project.

The Plenary will cover the following key areas:

· Policy, legislation, and consent forms

· Research methods, interview techniques, and planning for digital preservation

· The use of innovative open source software to digitally index recorded interviews and synchronise text with audio and video

Speakers include:

· Dr Aileen O’Carroll, Policy Manager at the Digital Repository of Ireland

· Dr Elizabeth (Liz) Kiely, Senior Lecturer in Social Policy at University College Cork

· Doug Boyd, Director of the Louise B. Nunn Center for Oral History at the University of Kentucky

The Plenary will feature three 20 min talks delivered by the expert speakers followed by an open Q&A session. It will be chaired by Systems Librarian at the Waterford Institute of Technology, David Kane.
