| | Oral history is the systematic collection of living people’s testimony about their own experiences. Historians, researchers and genealogists recognize that the everyday memories of everyday people, not just the rich and famous, have historical importance. Oral history places the interviewee in a place and time and asks him or her to relate personal remembrances of that time and place. If we do not collect and preserve those memories, those stories, then one day they will be gone forever. | | | |
