article on oral histories

I'm using this rainy Memorial weekend to catch up on some reading so, you
may get a few article alerts from me over the next few days.

For any of you who participate in oral hisotry projects, there is an
interesting article on oral histories in the March issue of Educational
Researcher published by the American Educational Research Association. 

Errante, Antoinette. "But Sometimes You're Not Part of the Story: Oral
Histories and Ways of Remembering and Telling." Educational Researcher (v29
n2 p16-27). The author talks about her experiences recording oral
histories. She points out some of the limitations of oral histories.

The article is available online at:

Enjoy!   Ann
