"Oral history relates to the technique of eliciting the reminiscences of selected individuals through interview sessions. The individuals selected are those considered best able to provide such information as derive from their personal involvement and experience of historical events; from their special relationship with a particular personality; or the bearing that a specific period in history may have had on their lives. The recorded interview, when transcribed, allows for the convenient use of oral history as both research as well as teaching material. In this way, oral history can be made to contribute significantly to the existing sources on local history."
