Abstract
ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a reconsideration of oral history practices, at a time when face-to-face contact was widely discouraged. This article draws upon a small sample of oral history interviews conducted remotely using video-calling software, to reflect upon the longer-term place of the video-call as a tool for oral historians. There are both practical challenges and benefits in relation to online interviewing with regards to security, accessibility, and comfort. More specifically, however, this article discusses the different ways in which memory and emotion may be shared on a video call and the wider implications of the virtual setting for rapport-building and shared authority between interviewer and interviewee.
