Educational Opportunity Giving Voice: Interpreting and Preserving Oral Histories Presented by the Conservation Center for Art & Historic Artifacts Tuesday, May 19, 2015 Atlanta, GA Hosted and co-sponsored by: Atlanta History Center Co-sponsored by: Oral History Association With the rise of audiovisual technology in the 20th century, many libraries, archives, museums and historical societies-as well as families and individuals-embarked upon projects to capture the stories of the past through recordings. This oral history material was preserved using magnetic recording tapes, film, and digital formats, many now obsolete. Obviously of great value and worthy of preservation, oral history material must be considered at risk until an institution conscientiously develops strategies to preserve its oral history material. This national conference brings together noted historians and preservation experts to discuss best practices and methods for capturing, sharing and interpreting oral histories. Topics include: * Best practices for collecting stories * Basic principles for managing oral histories within your repository * Strategies for preserving audiovisual materials * Access * Outreach and exhibition * Reaching and documenting under-represented groups Speakers: George Blood, President, George Blood Audio and Video Doug Boyd, Director, Louise B. Nunn Center for Oral History at the University of Kentucky Libraries Daniel Horowitz Garcia, Regional Manager, StoryCorps Charles Hardy III, Professor of History, West Chester University Bertram Lyons, Senior Consultant, AVPreserve Sue VerHoef, Senior Archivist, Atlanta History Center More information about this program and online registration is available at www.ccaha.org<http://www.ccaha.org>.
