Quaker Oral Histories

The Interview Process

There is a full description of the process of doing a oral history in the Oral Historian job description.

The recording agreement is a legal document which sets out the conditions on which recordings and files can be accessed. The agreement is made with the interviewee. The example template  given shows the various ways an agreement can be varied to suit the wishes of the interviewee. The agreement gives interviewees total control of what happens to their interviews.

A list of those Friends interviewed follows:
