Oral History as Evidence

Ronald J. Grele presents the stages of development, as well as main streams that make up contemporary oral history – from archiving, through social and educational activities, to historical research. The most noteworthy of these are aspects that constitute a part of the new social history, which implement the postulate of recording and extracting the grassroots perspective on history.
