ABSTRACT
The lone interviewer-researcher holds a dominant place in the oral historian’s imaginary, framing how we think about methodology and ethics. Yet oral history is a field where project-based research has always been central. Collaboration is therefore at the heart of oral history practice, both within the interview and project spaces. To be sure, most oral history projects are locally rooted, allowing face-to-face relationship building. Yet, increasingly, we are seeing trans-local, regional, national, and international projects. As a result, managing research projects remotely is not something that only began with the pandemic. It has a history.
