There are many different approaches to interviewing people for an Oral History project, and this presentation is not the final word on the matter. The purpose for providing this web based Oral History Workshop is to assist veterans, students, and the general public who are interviewing veterans of the wars in Southeast Asia for research projects or personal interest.
