Re: oral history interviews



Amen! Having spent a grueling six hours a couple of weeks ago transcribing a
videotaped 15-minute talk -- I heartily agree. Get it on audio, too!

I have a suggestion for procedure. If you're going to transcribe these
things, and it's not going to cause you more problems, run a tape
recorder, too. It's a whole lot easier to use a transcribing machine and
work from a tape than to use the video itself.  Sure, you can make an
audio tape from playing the video, but it will be harder to understand.
