Introduction
The aim is to record an oral history from people who have lived in or visited Burnbanks, from its early days to the present. Interviews will be recorded on suitable storage media, and if possible transcribed and made available on the web (with agreement from the interviewee).- A list of potential interviewees is being compiled though press publicity, an open day, word of mouth and Internet contact.
- The interviews will be done in quiet surrounding using a MiniDisc recorder.
- The MiniDisc recordings will be copied onto computer as a backup (if possible in digital form).
- If time permits, the recording will be transcribed.
- The transcription will be checked by the interviewee for accuracy.
- If permission given, the whole interview or excerpts will be made available on this web site, possibly censored if anything contentious included.
We are using two MiniDisc recorders, already owned by members of the History Group. The recordings are currently copied to computer using an analogue cable, stored in WAV form and also converted to MP3 format (64kpbs 44kHz - FM radio quality) to put on the web.
Materials:
Assuming that permission is obtained, we intend to make the full recordings available online in a suitable file format, and possibly shorter snapshot sections of the interview. We will investigate how to provide audio output with a simultaneous display of the transcription (ie like sub-titles).
Some people we have contacted do not wish to be interviewed.
Others do not want their voice to be heard.
If an interview can only be done over the telephone, then we will research to see if this possible.
