Other topics covered include privacy and copyright issues, post-interview tasks such as logging and transcribing and ideas on what to do with the completed interview.

Bob Mitchell
Perhaps better known as The Memory Man, Bob has experience in family history interviewing, presenting oral history courses and memory sessions for therapists and aged carers. His book 1001 Life Story Questions has proved to be a great resource for oral history interviewers.
