Oral History Online is the first and only index to thousands of English-language oral history collections around the world. Users link directly to the narratives of individuals from all walks of life, from the 1930s to the present, from all over the world. Oral History Online provides in-depth indexing to more than 2,500 collections of oral history in English from around the world. The deep semantic indexing allows users to search more than 250,000 pages of full-text interviews with approximately 6,300 individuals from all walks of life. It also contains links to some 1,900 audio and video files and more 13,500 bibliographic records. Users can search the histories in new ways, including by interviewee’s name, occupation, and other details; by interviewer; by location; by date of interview; and using other criteria – through a newly created, fully controlled subject thesaurus.
“The personal narratives are drawn from repositories around the world and relate to virtually every area of research,” said Eileen Lawrence, Vice President for Sales and Marketing. “From 11 full-text interviews in 1930 of people who remember Crazy Horse, to the 2004 audio and video interviews of Karl Lyon in the ‘Oral History of the Holocaust’ project, users will find history come alive through these voices.”
One winner will be drawn from all correct entries received in Alexander Street offices by the end of the promotion. The winner will be announced on March 1, 2005.
