Oral history is one of the many ways to
conduct historical research. By collecting raw data2 through
interviews, one is able to complement written archives and records.
Oral history helps to widen the perspectives of historical research
by involving informants, members of the general public, in the
compilation of history, thus enlivening the historical record.
Mr Chow used concrete examples to explain the different aspects
of oral history, including data2 collection, identification of
interviewees, design of interview questions, recording, archive
management and legal liabilities. Students were encouraged to
apply oral history research to SARS project studies.
