Where can I get oral history training?

In addition to our MA Program, OHMA offers free, online, public training workshops, taught by our alumni and faculty. If you join our mailing list you will hear about these, as well as our regular Thursday evening public event series, which is also a great place to learn more about oral history. You can watch recordings of past events here. 

Our colleagues at the Columbia Center for Oral History Research offer a 2-week Summer Institute every other year - the last one was in 2023.

There are many other excellent oral history workshops and institutes. You can check out upcoming offerings in the Oral History Association’s event listings. We especially recommend the Oral History Summer School (which is not only in the summer) and these recorded workshops from the Oral History Association.

You can also hire an oral historian to provide training for you or your team.
