There are many ways to document and preserve history. A very popular approach to preserving history is concerned with recording oral history interviews with family members, friends, friends’ parents, classmates about aspects of their lives and memories of other relatives and important events in the family’s history. Recording oral histories can be a very effective way of capturing information that is difficult to obtain by any other means. Oral accounts can serve to significantly complement other kinds of information. For example, a person being interviewed might tell the story behind a family event that's captured in a photograph, and name the family members depicted. Recorded interviews also have the added value of capturing the interviewees voices.
