Oral History for the Qualitative Researcher by Valerie J. Janesick

I found this text to be helpful for our oral history project.  It first gave a lot of background information like the history of oral history.  Then it got into techniques and gave a couple of great examples.  I only wish that my participant could give me in depth answers like that!  lol  They were a little extreme...I'm sure that was not their first run through or their first experience doing a project like it.  Overall, I found the text to be very helpful.  I didn't completely read it until after my first interview, but maybe I will be able to incorporate some of the ideas from it into my second or third interview. 

Cool informational site on oral history
