The Oral History Committee seeks to provide a forum for generating interest in the intersections between moving image archives and oral history.

Members share experiences, challenges, use of emerging technologies and new legal/ethical issues surrounding oral history practice. Members collaborate to problem-solve common issues and help identify and craft best standards and practices for creating, preserving, and disseminating oral histories recorded on audio and video.

The committee helps to guide the moving image archive community, information professionals, and allied communities in working with oral history materials.
