About
OHR Extra! is an open-access online publication produced by the current Oral History Review team. It complements the journal by extending the conversations we are having in the Review and aims to support the oral history community at large by inviting coverage of topics, news, projects, and events important to the field. Extra! will be updated regularly throughout the year. To contact us with a notice or idea for Extra!, please email our Media Review Editor, Bud Kliment, @ OHRMedia@outlook.com.
