Open-Source Based Solutions for Processing, Preserving, and Presenting Oral Histories

Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

For more than a decade, the University of South Florida Library's Oral History Program has sought to develop cost-effective, open-source solutions to improve workflow management, increase public access, and preserve oral history collections. Recently, it established two open-source solutions to meet these goals. Bull-OH-Base enables Oral History Program staff to manage its many oral history projects and associated data in a secure and efficient manner. OHPi (its oral history player interface) offers researchers the ability to access and search its collections through a web-based application that synchronizes audio and video files with a full-text transcript. USF continues to improve upon its oral history technologies and seeks partners to share in further developing and utilizing these tools.
