Collaborative best practices

Abstract

This paper describes the process of a two-year collaborative enterprise, aiming at offering both the Italian scientific communities and non-academic stakeholders a Vademecum dealing with the conservation, the description, the use and the re-use of oral sources. For the very first time, very different subjects worked together in order to solve long-standing structural problems related to oral sources through the dissemination of good practices, shared knowledge and cross-disciplinary approach to production, management, access and preservation of audio material produced within research projects.
