SSHOC Webinar: Best Practices for Preserving Oral Archives

Date:

24 February 2021 - 14:00 to 16:00

Learn about the best practices for preserving oral sources!

The SSHOC CLARIN collaborative webinar series continues on 24 February with the topic Best Practices for Preserving Oral Archives. The event is to be hosted by CLARIN Café which offers researchers, lecturers, students and topic experts an interactive space for discussion.

Oral sources are fragile compared with historical sources such as artefacts and written documents, and thus rely on a specialised infrastructure for their preservation. During the webinar, participants will learn about the best practices for preserving such oral sources, and will also have the opportunity to discuss these practices with the expert presenters.
