This 90-minute webinar, led by Douglas A. Boyd, explores the distinctive challenges and opportunities of working with digital oral history collections. Drawing on decades of experience at the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History in the University of Kentucky Libraries, Boyd will provide a concise but practical overview of how oral history differs from other archival materials in terms of accessioning, collection management, metadata, transcription, access, and preservation. Using examples and workflows developed at the Nunn Center, the workshop will explore machine-generated transcription and transcript authentication, enhancing discoverability through OHMS (Oral History Metadata Synchronizer), and emerging uses of AI in oral history archives.
