About the Journal
A great deal of what we know of past communities’ and peoples’ daily activities (i.e. in immigrant enclaves, rural farming towns, and military encampments) cannot be gleaned from books, digests, or newspapers. Rather, it can only be revealed to us through stories, interviews, and spoken dialogue, or what is known as oral history.
In The Oral History Review, the official publication of the Oral History Association since 1973, publishes articles, book and film reviews, and bibliographies deal with the verification of human experience and research findings in oral history. This journal considers a broad spectrum of different social groups, cultures, and countries through the use of interviews, songs, photos, diagrams, and storytelling.
