What is an Oral History Project and a Documentary Video?

Oral History


Oral history is the collection and study of historical information about individuals,families, important events, or everyday life using audio tapes, video tapes, or transcriptions of planned interviews.These interviews are conducted with people who participated in or observed past events and whose memories and perceptions of these are to be preserved as an aural record for future generations.


Documentary


Documentary films constitute a broad category of nonfictional motion pictures intended to document some aspect of reality, primarily for the purposes of instruction or maintaining a historical record.
