Australian Media Oral History Group

What is Oral History?

Oral histories are the recorded, unedited and preserved recollections of ordinary people: their lives, their work, their experiences. They can tell us much about those individuals, and together provide opportunities for a multi-dimensional view of events of the past.

AMOHG believes that integral to understanding individual histories is hearing the voice of the interviewee.

AMOHG has produced a video of three of its members discussing their interest in oral histories as well as technical changes that affected the media industry.

This video was recorded from a Zoom meeting in November 2020.
