Oral history workshop with Almut Leh

Friday, 17 January 2025

As part of the planned project "How does the Mur sound? Language biographies along the Mur", a workshop on the oral history method was held with Dr Almut Leh from the FernUniversität Hagen. The focus was on the technical aspects of conducting oral history interviews and digital archiving. Practical examples were used to emphasise the importance of metadata and the need for precise transcriptions and annotations in order to ensure the quality and usability of the interviews for research in the long term.
