Ideas for how to use your book

Here is a companion article to the life story question book you picked up. Remember, ideas apply to your own life story too. Here's the link.

Interviewing:

Here is a free mini-course tutorial for conducting great oral history interviews. Download it by clicking on this link or the photo below.

Recording devices: Recording calls:
 * Click to see the Olympus digital recorder from Amazon. It's my favorite because it has a USB connection built right in: no cords or memory cards.
 * Click here for an article on free recorder apps for your phone.
 * For the iPhone iPad the Voice Record Pro app is fabulous, $6.99 with no ads. This is the one I use.

My writing partner did an article about voice recording apps, and she included a segment about Tape-a-call. This is a great way to get oral history over the phone. Click here to read.

Digitizing cassettes and other media

On one of the contact cards, someone asked about the best company to digitize audio cassettes. There are various options, but I have been happy with Larsen Digital here in Utah for high resolution scanning and digitizing cassettes, reel-to-reel and movies. Here is a link to their website. They do a great job. Here is a link to their website.
