 Talking Together – a Guide to Community Oral History Projects by Lesley Jenkins OHAA Q’lnd. $14.50
Lesley comments: Projects can start in different ways. They can result from recommendations made in reports by others, or they can be initiated by council members or community workers. Sometimes an idea can jump around a group for a while until it formalises and everybody forgets who first thought it up. No matter how the idea was conceived, the next step is to act on it. This is an easy to access practical guide for those involved in building community oral history projects.

 Oral History and Public Memories Edited by Paula Hamilton & Linda Shopes 2008
Published by Temple University Press ISBN1592131417 (pb) ISBN1592131409 (hb)
Oral History and Public Memories is the first book to explore the relationship between the well-established practice of oral history and the burgeoning field of memory studies. In the past, oral historians have generally privileged the individual narrator, frequently fetishizing the interview process without fully understanding that interviews are only one form of memory-making. Historians engaged in memory studies, on the other hand, have asked broader questions—about the social and cultural processes at work in remembrance, for example. What distinguishes these essays from much work in oral history is their focus not on the experiences of individual narrators, but on the broader cultural meanings of oral history narratives. What distinguishes them from other work in memory studies is their grounding in real events. Taken together, these contributions explain the processes by which oral histories move beyond interviews with individual people to become articulated memories shared by others. |

Bob's decision to take up oral history came about when his father was diagnosed with a terminal illness. As he says, "It suddenly dawned on me how little I knew about Dad's life.. So armed with what I thought were only the 50 questions I would need .. I found out more about my father than I had known during the previous 48 years. However my 50 questions proved to be totally inadequate. Now hundreds of hours of interviewing later Bob has put together the definitive book of questions." It is set out chronologically under the following headings:
Family History Marriage and Family
Childhood Retirement
Adolescence/Your Adulthood Life Observations
Depression Days Personal Reflections on Life
WW II Years
