History of oral history : foundations and methodology / edited by Thomas L. Charlton, Lois E. Myers, and Rebecca Sharpless

Includes bibliographical references and index

Gathered here are parts I and II of the Handbook of Oral History, which set the benchmark for knowledge of the field. The editors discuss the history and methodologies of a field that once was the domain of history scholars who were responding to trends within the academy, but which has increasingly become democratized and widely used outside the realm of historical research
