The Michigan Oral History Association serves people who are interested in the methods and techniques of the oral history process as a means of preserving the unique memories of Michiganders. We promote oral history as a resource for capturing perspectives not otherwise preserved. The team is comprised of oral history practitioners, archivists, database managers, video producers, authors, professional transcribers, journalists, and teachers.
