Oral History Project Plan
This form addresses all the major elements of an oral history project. The completed form is reviewed by the student’s faculty supervisor (typically, the student’s instructor) before the student contacts a prospective narrator to request an interview.
Oral History Project Information and Consent form for student projects
This form includes references to the responsibilities of the instructor/project supervisor as well as the responsibilities of the student interviewer.
Oral History Project Information and Consent form for faculty/staff projects
This form provides a template for securing the informed consent of the narrator and specifying the responsibilities of the interviewer.
Video/Photo Permission Form
If an oral history involves videos or photos that include the narrator and that will be shared publicly as part of the project, the interviewer must prepare a video/photo permission form for the narrator’s signature. This form can also serve as a template for audio recordings that will be used for dissemination (not for the investigator’s use alone).
