Would you like to record and preserve the stories of prominent members of your section, region or society? There is a special type of interview, Oral History, designed to accomplish just that
This presentation, by Sheldon Hochheiser, director of the oral history program at the IEEE History Center will teach you how to do Oral History, and preserve and publish the results on the IEEE Global History Network (www.ieeeghn.org). There is much more involved in a successful oral history than just putting a microphone in front of somebody and asking them to talk about their life. There are certain easily-learned skills of preparation and developing topics, logistics, and simple but crucial legal requirements. This presentation provides what you need to know.
