In 2011 Chris Petersen set about learning how to do oral history work.  He traveled to the middle of Ohio for a crash course in interview techniques, field equipment, transcription software and much more.  What followed was a burst of recording that transported Chris to exotic locations, including Hawaii and the Valley Library third floor conference room.  This light-hearted and informative talk will recount the highlights of Chris’ journeys and some of what he learned along the way. This work was generously funded by the Robert Lundeen Library Faculty Development Award.

Presenter: Chris Petersen, Faculty Research Assistant, Special Collections and Archive Research Center

When:  Friday, February 15, 2013, 10:00-11:30am (refreshments provided)

Where:  Willamette Industries Seminar Rooms (Valley 3622), Valley Library, Oregon State University, Corvallis campus.
