Books by Willa K. Baum

Willa Baum once again shares her enormous knowledge of oral history in her second AASLH book, focusing this time on what to do when ending interviews, how to decide whether or not to transcribe, how to process data, and how to transcribe. Also provided are detailed instructions on auditing tapes, editing, working with legal agreements, indexing, and more.

Tells you how to start an oral history program in your community, how to select the right equipment, and how to interview people whose memories are a living connection to the past. This book demonstrates what to do when the interviews are collected and to instruct how to transcribe and index them, store them, and make them available to the public.
