      Accelerating Change: Oral History, Innovation, and Impact
      <https://columbia.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=36a7c32c9e502e82b4d978c2d&id=6697a243fd&e=4f0c5e47ce&gt;

      Oral history is experiencing an explosive phase of growth around the
      world. Beyond the interview, digital technologies are creating access
      points to archived oral histories that were once unimaginable. Free and
      open source technologies such as OHMS can synchronize textual searches of
      small and large-scale oral history interviews and collections to the
      corresponding moment in the recorded audio or video, which creates
      revolutionary possibilities and potential for a single oral history
      interview to impact the historical record significantly. Archives that
      previously noted hundreds of annual uses of their oral history interviews
      are now experiencing several hundred thousand online uses each year. This
      dramatic increase in scale has had a notable impact on the usage of extant
      oral history interviews and collections, but it also raises questions
      pertaining to individual privacy and the ethics of access.

      In this workshop, Doug Boyd will focus on the impact of innovative
      technologies on the practice and the purpose of oral history. In addition
      to focusing on oral history and access, Boyd will reflect on the emergence
      of technologies including 360-degree, automatic speech recognition, and the
      role of artificial intelligence in the archive, as well as reflect on the
      changing role of the oral history archive itself.

      Oral History Master of Arts (OHMA) is an interdisciplinary Master of Arts
      degree program in the field of oral history, the first program of its
      kind. Our mission is to train the next generation of oral historians to
      deploy our deep traditions of ethical, creative, and rigorous oral history
      practice to meet the challenges of today’s and tomorrow’s changing worlds.

      Through the collection, archiving, and analysis of individual, community,
      and institutional histories, we preserve the critical first-person
      narratives that capture the spirit of our society for generations to come.
