After the first year of developing and starting an oral history project, I felt immediately pressured for more, more MORE! While I was done and happy for the year; the initial interviews and photos were now stored, they would one day be archived, and the project would continue the following year, the students and seniors and those in my university community seemed surprised that, that was it. So, I started using the photographs and audio from the interviews in order to create an annual video recap. (The second year, I got a lot fancier.) This has managed to drum up support from all angles, and they are very fun to show, but it is not the direction I originally saw for the project. I would love to explore how others have reconstituted their oral histories, why we’ve done it, how we’ve done it and the pros and cons of doing so.
