Quick Guide *

  • Good business practices are in sync with oral history ethics! We can operate in solidarity with our peers and the people we interview by designing anti-exploitative practices.

  • We make oral history work transparent! It’s only by naming what we do — in tangible terms — that we can create the conditions for more (and better) jobs.

  • Discussing the value of our labor and how much to charge for it is how we enact economic transparency and accessibility. Solidarity forever!

  • We meet here as peers and commit to learning and listening together.
