Why Oral History?

In spring 2014, students in Professor Ettinger’s class "Voices of the Past” (HIST 360) at Clarkson University learned how to conduct oral history research. They investigated their family history or recent historical topics of interest to them. Browse through the students’ projects, and learn about the process they went through to construct their own oral histories!
