How does one create an archive? What is oral history? What is informed consent? How can archival work be simultaneously reparative and generative? In this workshop, we\u2019ll dig into the practical and theoretical aspects of creating a digital archive\u2014specifically, an oral history archive about a language and culture with presence around the world: Yiddish. Christa P. Whitney will draw on her experience of traveling extensively and building a digital oral history\u2014the Yiddish Book Center\u2019s Wexler Oral History Project\u2014since 2010 to present key aspects, challenges, and delights of digital recording, digital archives, and the face-to-face relationship building that underpins it all. We\u2019ll explore oral history theory, interviewing techniques, workflows, editing and curation, and much more.<\/p>\n
