11 What is NOT Oral History Journalism interviews Speeches Quotes in a secondary or primary source Random Recordings
12 The Oral History Association and Donald Ritchie define Oral History as, Oral History collects memories and personal commentaries of historical significance through recorded interviews. An oral history interview generally consists of a well-prepared interviewer questioning an interviewee and recording their exchange in audio or video format. Recordings of the interview are transcribed, summarized, or indexed and then placed in a library or archives. These interviews may be used for research or excerpted in a publication, radio or video documentary, museum exhibition, dramatization or other form of public presentation. Oral history does not include random taping, such as President Richard Nixon s surreptitious recording of his White House conversations, nor does it refer to recorded speeches, wiretapping, personal diaries on tape, or other sound recordings that lack the dialogue between interviewer and interviewee. The Oral History Association, Oral History: Defined.
13 Primary Source The interviewee/narrator was present at the historic time, a witness or participant The interview is WITH the person, not ABOUT the person Vocabulary Interviewee/narrator- the person being interviewed, the subject of an oral history interview Secondary Source The interviewee/narrator is an expert about an event (Example: A professor) The interviewee/narrator is talking ABOUT a person (Example: a family member talking about a relative)
14 The Oral History Association compiled a list of Oral History repositories. enters-and-collections/ Vocabulary Repository- a place where records are stored Do your own!

25 oral Primary Sources on the Internet Missy McNatt, Education Specialist, National Archives
26 Starting Research Vast amounts of information are available to us and the research process can seem overwhelming. Many students begin the research process with the Internet. Internet sources include anything published online. Can include web pages, ebooks, and multimedia. Many traditional sources such as newspapers, magazine articles, and journal articles are available online as well. Websites are not regulated for quality or accuracy. Anyone can create a website.
27 Evaluating Websites Who What When Where Why The Five W s
28 WHO? Who wrote the pages on the website? Is there contact information for the author(s)? Is there biographical information for the author? If there is no author listed, is the organization that created or sponsored the website reputable? Who is the intended audience?
29 What? What is the purpose of the website? What information is included? Is the information reliable and credible? What is the bias? Is the information free of spelling and grammatical errors? Is the intent of the website to educate? explain? persuade? sell a product?
30 When? Is the website dated? Is the website current? When was the last revision of the website? Are the links on the website current and active?
31 Where? Where does the information come from? Where can I find out about the sponsor of the website? Where are the citations for the information on the website?
32 Why? Check the domain extension: the last three letters of the web address.edu = Education website.gov = Government agency.org = Organization (Unrestricted).net = intended for ISP s and Networks (can be purchased)
33 Domains (continued).com = Commercial sites (Unrestricted).info -= Unrestricted.biz = Intended for business - (Unrestricted).pro - Professionals/Organizations.library.(state).us = Public Libraries.k12.(state).us = Public/Private Schools.name = Personal website

59 oral Annotated Bibliographies Amy Page Behring Teacher Ambassador New Mexico
60 What format?????? MLA Modern Language Association -vs- Chicago Turabian Rumble in the Bibliography for the Welterwrite Championship Either format works: consistency matters! process paper---bibliography---in project Turabian is preferred by historians What works best for the students? What the English department is teaching?
61 What should be included The bibliography LEGITIMIZES research and JUSTIFIES analysis. FAQs How long should a bibliography be? determined by the topic and resource availability (15 pages is a safe average for Nationals) How many Primary and Secondary sources should there be? balance of both The more reliable primary sources the merrier Secondary sources are critical! They help to develop analysis and the so what factor. How should I format the Bibliography? Be sure to to follow recommended format consistently Variations from the rule: to double space or not
62 Teaching Bibliography Skills Clearly define primary and secondary Define terminology i.e.: journal, manuscript, anthology, etc Separating and alphabetizing sources Clarify annotation expectations Explore where to find citation information Tools: numerous online bibliography generators
63 Avoiding pitfalls: Citation and annotation for a single source should be on same page Include URLS Make sure margins and spacing are consistent Proofread, proofread, proofread Number the pages, print single sided not double sided Staple, don't clip WARNING: ANNOTATION CREEP! Annotations 2-3 sentences unless they are an interview, collection, or source that requires longer explanation. Bigger is not better if it is fluff. About those Wikis Wikis are inherently unequal. - Amy Page, Nationals NHD Judge
