It Takes a Village: creating the USC Upstate Oral History Pilot Project.
- Authors
Merryman, Ann E.
- Abstract
This article presents a case study of a pilot project to collect oral histories from under-documented communities in Spartanburg, SC and surrounding areas from the perspective of the Coordinator of Archives and Special Collections. The case study covers the purpose of the project, challenges faced developing the oral history process in a single-archivist environment at a university of approximately 6000 students, and the decisions made by the archivist and faculty members that enabled students to participate in the project as novice oral historians. This article expands upon a presentation given on March 15, 2018 at the 2018 Society of North Carolina Archivists Annual Meeting in Durham, N.C. entitled "It Takes a Village: A Collaborative Approach to Preserving Spartanburg County's Under-documented Communities through Oral Histories."
