2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9- 9-13 August Berkeley Advanced Summer Institute
About the Institute
The Oral History Center is offering an online version of our one-week advanced institute on the methodology, theory, and practice of oral history. This will take place from August 9-13, 2021. Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Advanced Institute will be held online.
The cost of the Advanced Institute has been adjusted to reflect the online nature of this year’s program. This year’s cost has been adjusted to $550. See below for details about this year’s institute.
The institute is designed for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, university faculty, independent scholars, and museum and community-based historians who are engaged in oral history work. The goal of the institute is to strengthen the ability of its participants to conduct research-focused interviews and to consider special characteristics of interviews as historical evidence in a rigorous academic environment.
We will devote particular attention to how oral history interviews can broaden and deepen historical interpretation situated within contemporary discussions of history, subjectivity, memory, and memoir.
Overview of the Week
The institute is structured around the life cycle of an interview. Each day will focus on a component of the interview, including foundational aspects of oral history, project conceptualization, the interview itself, analytic and interpretive strategies, and research presentation and dissemination.
Instruction will take place online from 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Pacific Time, with breaks woven in. There will be three sessions a day: two seminar sessions and a workshop. Seminars will cover oral history theory, legal and ethical issues, project planning, oral history and the audience, anatomy of an interview, editing, fundraising, and analysis and presentation. During workshops, participants will work throughout the week in small groups, led by faculty, to develop and refine their projects.
Participants will be provided with a resource packet that includes a reader, contact information, and supplemental resources. These resources will be made available electronically prior to the Institute, along with the schedule.
Applications and Cost
The cost of the institute is $550. OHC is a soft money research office of the university, and as such receives precious little state funding. Therefore, it is necessary that this educational initiative be a self-funding program. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide financial assistance to participants. We encourage you to check in with your home institutions about financial assistance; in the past we have found that many programs have budgets to help underwrite some of the costs associated with attendance. We will provide receipts and certificates of completion as required for reimbursement.

Wairarapa Library Service is holding in August, Beyond the Four Walls: Audio Storytelling Using Oral Histories.
Wellington oral historians Emma-Jean Kelly and Pip Oldham will be speaking in Greytown on 19 August about their experiences creating podcasts and audio stories on subjects ranging from New Zealand’s 2020 Covid-19 lockdown and the Wahine disaster to the lives of butchers.
Dr Emma-Jean Kelly, the Audio-Visual Historian at the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, will be talking about the oral history project she initiated last year on New Zealand’s Covid-19 lockdown, and how it grew into a podcast featured on Radio New Zealand, ‘Kei Roto i te Miru: Inside the Bubble’.
Independent oral historian Pip Oldham, whose work has included interviews with everyone from butchers to artists and people in the professions, will speak about how she came to use audio recorded for archival purposes to tell stories for audiences outside the archive, what’s involved and why it’s worth doing.
Hear Pip and Emma-Jean at the WBS Room, Greytown Town Centre, 87 Main Street, Greytown, on Thursday 19 August from 10 to 11.30am. All welcome.
Please tell anyone else who might be interested!

20 21 22 23- 23-27 August 2021 Singapore International Oral History Association Virtual Conference
The National Archives of Singapore, an institution of the National Library Board, are your hosts for the XXI International Oral History Association (IOHA) Conference in 2021.
The theme of the conference is Harmony & Disharmony: Bringing Together Many Voices.
At the core of oral history is a desire for a more complex and nuanced understanding of the world around us. While we value each oral account as unique, personal and subjective, bringing together many voices – whether in agreement or disagreement – allows greater meaning to be gleaned, refined and accumulated. Oral history teaches us to be considerate and empathetic to different voices and perspectives. What does this mean in the context of oral history taking root in more places and different cultures around the world? Where it is used in more and different contexts and disciplines? Aided and even led by changing technologies? Presented in different forms and bearing multiple uses? This conference invites papers which shed light on the growing diversity, multidimensionality and interdisciplinary applications of oral history.
As the IOHA conference enters Southeast Asia for the first time, the theme is also an invitation for reflection by the international oral history community to consider how we can help and support one another through friendships, networks and alliances.
Our panels and presentations will be structured around the following sub-themes:
- Oral history, culture and community
- Oral history, ethics and the law
- Oral history and the arts
- Oral history and technology
- Oral history and politics
- Oral history and business
- Oral history and sports
- Oral history and conflict
- Oral history and indigenous communities
- Inter- and cross-disciplinary applications of oral history (journalism, therapy, etc.)
- Comparative studies of oral history
