The Oral History Review is seeking book and media reviewers, and in particular, writers interested in oral history who can combine reasoned opinions with lively writing to cover contemporary work in the field across disciplines.
We are always on the lookout for reviews of current books that utilize oral history or address current developments in the field. You may choose from the selection of books we’ve received from publishers or suggest a recent title that you think is important. We also highlight influential work in the field through two occasional columns we call “Classics Revisited” and “Literature Reviews”. (Read the Review for examples.)
We also publish reviews of new or significant applications of oral history in settings other than in books–in theater, films, music, museums, art exhibits, podcasts, archives or other interactive presentations. Works to be reviewed ideally should present oral history effectively and be broadly available so that OHR readers can access and experience them in person, online, through archival recordings or other sources.
