Well done Coleen,
very interesting and informative.
Thank you very much Colleen. I only wish I had the technology 30 +/- years ago. At least I do have a series of interviews with my grandmother on a cassette tape recorder, and I just this year had it digitized before it disintegrated. Listening to it again, there was so much I did not remember, especially when she was talking about her parents and grandparents, and even a great grandparent who died in 1905 that her father told her about!
I also have a reel-to-reel tape from 1966 of my great-grandfather, but the recorder doesn't work anymore and I haven't found anyone with equipment to digitize it.
PLEASE do follow-ups to this! It was so very helpful, thank you. The tips, techniques and suggestions for tools was especially helpful.
Excellent Webinar th at covers equipment needed and ethics of video interviews with family members, etc. I appreciated this knowledge before buying any equipment.
Helpful information especially the area of remote or distant folks to interview. Second part please.
Great presentation and hopefully she will do the next steps she mentioned at the end of her talk!
Actually rated this as a 10! More practical information on every aspect of interviewing than I’ve ever seen anywhere! And Colleen has offered a Part 2! To that I say Yes! Yes! More, Please!
very clear and informative. Colleen has so much knowledge and experience and I'm grateful she was willing to share all that with me.
