Ever wonder how others are describing their oral history collections? Members of the Oral History Association Metadata Task Force describe efforts to create oral history descriptive guidelines that meet the needs of a broad practitioner community.

Guest collaborators share their experiences, and attendees  are invited to provide reflection and feedback.
