New York City Trans Oral History Project ORAL HISTORY HANDBOOK

This handbook is designed to be a basic resource for interviewers and other people interested in getting involved with the NYC Trans Oral History Project. It includes basic information and tips for doing oral history interviews in general, some information specific to trans oral history, and some back- ground about the NYC-TOHP. No prior oral history experience is required to get involved as an interviewer! So this handbook includes a lot of material geared towards folks who might not be familiar with trans history or oral his- tory, or who are just interested in learning more about how we approach our work. But if you feel like jumping right in, all you really need to get started interviewing begins with the “Setting up Your Interviews” section.
