For the past ten years, Nancy MacKay's Curating Oral Histories
(2006) has been the one-stop shop for librarians, curators, program
administrators, and project managers who are involved in turning an
oral history interview into a primary research document, available
for use in a repository. In this new and greatly expanded edition,
MacKay uses the life cycle model to map out an expanded concept of
curation, beginning with planning an oral history project and
ending with access and use. The book:-guides readers, step by step,
on how to make the oral history "archive ready";-offers strategies
for archiving, preserving, and presenting interviews in a digital
environment;-includes comprehensive updates on technology, legal
and ethical issues, oral history on the Internet, cataloging,
copyright, and backlogs.
The interview is completed, the recorder packed away, and you've
captured the narrator's voice for posterity. The bulk of your oral
history is finished-or is it? Nancy MacKay, archivist and oral
historian, addresses the crucial issue often overlooked by
researchers: How do you ensure that the interview you so carefully
recorded will be preserved and available in the future? MacKay goes
carefully through the various steps that take place after the
interview-transcribing, cataloging, preserving, archiving, and
making your study accessible to others. Written in a practical,
instructive style, MacKay guides readers, step by step, to make the
oral history "archive ready", offers planning strategies, and
provides links to the most current information in this rapidly
evolving field. This book will be of interest to oral historians,
librarians, archivists and others who conduct oral history and
maintain oral history materials. See more at

Community projects often falter after the interviews are completed.
This final book of the five-volume Community Oral History Toolkit
explains the importance of processing and archiving oral histories
and takes the reader through all the steps required for good
archiving and for concluding the oral history project so that it is
preserved and accessible for future generations. The authors give
special attention to record-keeping systems and repositories, and
provide several examples from actual projects to ground the
information in practical terms. Charts, checklists, and sample
forms also help the reader apply concepts to practice. Volume 5
finishes with examples of creative ways community projects have
used oral histories, such as performances, exhibitions,
celebrations, websites, and more, in order to promote history and
engage the community.
The third book in the five-volume Community Oral History Toolkit
takes the planning steps outlined in Volume 2 and puts them into
action. It provides the practical details for turning your plans
into reality and establishes the basis for guiding your project
through the interviews to a successful conclusion. Project
directors are given concrete, useful advice on how to manage
people, money, technology, publicity, and administrative tasks from
the beginning to the end of the project. Volume 3 outlines details
for developing the necessary forms to properly administer a
community oral history project (sample forms provided). The authors
advise how to recruit volunteers and interviewees and provide
helpful tips for conducting thorough interview and transcription
training sessions and how to make arrangements for the life and
safety of the project once the interviews are complete.
The second book in the five-volume Community Oral History Toolkit
walks you through all the planning steps to travel from an idea to
a completed collection of oral history interviews. Informed by an
extensive survey of oral historians from across the country, this
guide will get you started on firm ground so you don't get mired in
unforeseen problems in the middle of your project. Designed
especially for project administrators, it identifies participants
and responsibilities that need to be covered, and details planning
needs for everything from budgeting to technology, and from legal
issues to ethics. Planning a Community Oral History Project sets
the stage for the implementation steps outlined in Volume 3,
Managing a Community Oral History Project.
The first book of the five-volume Community Oral History Toolkit
sets the stage for an oral history project by placing community
projects into a larger context of related fields and laying a sound
theoretical foundation. It introduces the field of oral history to
newcomers, with discussions of the historical process, the
evolution of oral history as a research methodology, the nature of
community, and the nature of memory. It also elaborates on best
practices for community history projects and presents a detailed
overview of the remaining volumes of the Toolkit, which cover
Planning, Management, Interviewing, and After-the-Interview
processing and curation. Introduction to Community Oral History
features a comprehensive glossary, index, bibliography, and
references, as well as numerous sample forms that are needed
throughout the process of conducting community oral history
projects.
The interview is the anchor of an oral history project. The fourth
book in the five-volume Community Oral History Toolkit guides the
interviewer through all the steps from interview preparation
through follow-up. It includes guidance on selecting interviewees,
training interviewers, using recording equipment, and ethical
issues concerning the interviewer-interviewee relationship. Packed
with instructive case studies, Volume 4 offers concrete practical
examples and advice for issues such as pre-interview research,
developing interview questions and points for guiding discussion,
ideal interview settings and conditions, strategies for stimulating
interviewees' memories, acceptable communication techniques and
behavior throughout the interview process, and rounding out

The best and the brightest use advisors and experts. In fact, one
could say that they are the best and the brightest because they
utilized trusted advisors throughout their careers. Whether in
business, sports, entertainment, academia, or politics, expert help
is a fundamental enabler of success. That means that the demand for
expert advice will grow and the competition will increase for such
help. This isn't a matter of "certificates" and "universities,"
it's a matter of specific skill and behavioral sets that create a
trusting bond and reliance. Trusted advisors are beyond
coaches-they are comprehensive resources and supporters. The Modern
Trusted Advisor employs important mastery traits, such as
subordinating ego, applying shared experiences, and managing
emotional, mental, and intellectual health. We are entering a world
of "no normal" today and leaders must inspire others daily. This is
the book that prepares you to inspire those leaders.
