3Hello!
4I am a family history researcher with about 8 years of experience. A couple of years ago, I found an oral history of a distant relative, on the University of Southern Mississippi website. In that oral history report, I found a great deal of information about my family. It was a great find and contributed a great deal to confirming the validity of some information I already had. I have decided that I would like to research the variables of a good oral history report. I’d like to start with gathering an oral history from my mother, who is now 77 years old. I’d like to take the information, and make it as complete as possible, and share it in genealogy area, as well as the public libraries where she lives now, and the libraries where she was born and grew up. The University of Southern Mississippi would be one of those depositories. Since my mother is alive and remembers an incredible amount of information, I’m looking for ways to break the information down into reasonable sections. It is my goal to have both written and recorded information, as well as some photographs to lend to the aesthetic value of my project. I have not developed this idea a great deal yet. This is my first stop. If anyone have any suggestions that may be useful, please do share.
I wish you all the best in your new venture as well. Thanks.
