Event: ‘Getting Started with Oral Histories Plenary’ – Online Event
Host: The LIR Committee
Time and Date: Wed 18 May from 3:00 pm–4:30 pm IST
The LIR Committee’s mission is to keep librarians, academic librarians in particular, informed about technologies that affect their
practice.
We believe that the transcription and coding of oral histories are increasingly relevant topics and so we have designed this Plenary to
equip academic librarians, and a broader audience of digital archivists, data stewards, researchers, and historians, with the knowledge and
information necessary to begin to plan an oral history project.
The Plenary will cover the following key areas:
Policy, legislation, and consent forms
Research methods, interview techniques, and planning for digital preservation
The use of innovative open source software to digitally index recorded interviews and synchronise text with audio and video
Speakers include:
Dr Aileen O’Carroll, Policy Manager at the Digital Repository of Ireland
Dr Elizabeth (Liz) Kiely, Senior Lecturer in Social Policy at University College Cork
Doug Boyd, Director of the Louise B. Nunn Center for Oral History at the University of Kentucky
The Plenary will feature three 20 min talks delivered by the expert speakers followed by an open Q&A session. It will be chaired by Systems
Librarian at the Waterford Institute of Technology, David Kane.
