A publication of the open access article “Democratising Access? The interface of new technologies and archived life stories”

HDSM Team is delighted to share the news on publishing an article titled “Democratising Access? The interface of new technologies and archived life stories” by Flinn, A., Boyd, D., Morgan, C. and J. Nyhan. It has been issued in the Oral History Journal: The Life Story in Oral History Practice (52:3) in open access in the Journal’s directory on the website of the Oral History Society.


The abstract of the article is as follows:

Following Charlie Morgan’s introductory presentation, we provide an edited transcript of a panel discussion reflecting on some of the themes and issues to be considered when archiving life histories and making them accessible to researchers in the digital age. The panellists were Doug Boyd (director of the Louie B Nunn Center for Oral History at the University of Kentucky), Andrew Flinn (reader in archival studies and oral history, UCL and chair of the discussion), Charlie Morgan (oral history archivist at the British Library) and Julianne Nyhan (professor of humanities data science and methodology at the Technical University Darmstadt and professor of digital humanities at UCL). Topics discussed include: use and re- use of life histories, ethics and informed consent, the benefits and challenges of new and emerging digital tools and technologies for archiving and analysing life-history interviews, sensitivity reviews, multi- modal digital oral history, automated transcription, and artificial intelligence and oral history.
