Make plans now to attend Oral History for the 21st Century, a two day symposium scheduled for November 12-13 in Oklahoma City. Donald Ritchie, Historian for the U.S. Senate, past president of the Oral History Association, and author of “Doing Oral History: A Practical Guide,” will be joined by some of the most successful oral historians in the state to share expert advice on conducting meaningful interviews and better managing oral history projects. Cost for the two-day symposium is $65 for both days, or $40 for one day. Lunch and a copy of “Doing Oral History” by Donald Richie are included.
