This week's tool is the Oral History Association's collection of resources for recording digital oral histories.These resources are designed to help answer the many questions that come up when creating recordings for a library or archive. It goes over recording devices, cables, storage medium, how to adjust levels, and general tips for good recording. The Oral History Association also has a glossary for digital audio recording.
Two NGL projects are currently capturing oral histories, Writing Our Story: An Analysis of Black Student Protests at Denison University and Collecting and Digitizing Farmer Interviews in Wayne County, Ohio from The College of Wooster. When purchasing recorders for the Wooster project, we created a list of recommendations from Five Colleges staff and links to external reviews. If you need to purchase audio recording equipment it's a great place to start.
