PREPARING AN ORAL HISTORY BIOGRAPHY
You are responsible to provide a 1-page biography that will serve as an introduction to your interviewee. As best as possible, your biography should include:
· Where and when your interviewee was born and lived
· Educational background and degrees
· Occupation(s)
· Family information
· Additional information from their background that might have influenced the interview
(i.e., religion etc.)
· Any interesting facts that might provide some insight into the nature of your interviewee.
If
possible, secure a photograph of your interviewee to include in your final
project.
