Activities

This workshop centers on digital methods for working with oral history and provides a survey of emerging practices relevant to anyone running an oral history project, large or small, whether for research purposes, for posterity, or both.

Virtual Summit will be an opportunity to connect virtually and update you on the current developments of the N4D. The Action leadership and Working Group Chairs will report on the activities of the Action in the past Grant Period 3, and announce plans (circumstances permitting) for the Grant Period 4, incl.  virtual community actions we would like to take up in the forthcoming months.

This standing open call for Grant Period 3 has been suspended due to lack of funds. However, if you need conference support for an event happening between mid March and mid April 2020, please file an application, which we will be able to consider (on short notice) in case we make savings in other NEP4DISSENT activities happening prior to this period.
