[Bcma-l] oral history workshops

Please post: 
Dear BCMA members,
 
As Reference Historian at the  North Vancouver Museum & Archives, I am 
interested in developing our oral history program.  I am wondering if 
anyone has some tips? I am interested in training opportunities for  
doing oral history interviews. Some feedback on equipment for recording 
and transcribing interviews would also be welcome.
 
Is anyone aware of an upcoming conference of training for doing oral 
histories projects?  I see that there is a conference in Oakland 
California in October and a Military Oral History Conference at 
University of Victoria. I know that the Jewish Museum & Archives of BC 
is having training for their own volunteers, but is there any other 
information on general training  or any other oral history conferences 
being planned in the next year? 
 
Your comments and thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks
Daien Ide
