Do you have an Indiana Jones, a fighter pilot, a stage actress, or an Olympian in your ancestry or neighborhood? You may never know until you begin interviewing Aunt Jane, Grandma Clark, or the birdwatcher next door. Learn the principles of interviewing, transcribing, and editing oral histories as you discover and record the experiences of people you know in this practical, hands-on workshop. Topics will include effective interviewing techniques, transcribing and editing, and using recording equipment.
