SUMMARY:Immersive Oral History Capture: Setup\, Recording\, and Archiving
DESCRIPTION:With Frankie Ray \n  \nIn this hands-on workshop\, participants will learn the essentials of setting up and recording oral history interviews with both video and audio. We will cover how to prepare a recording environment\, assemble and test a recording rig\, and troubleshoot common technical challenges. Beyond capturing the interview itself\, participants will gain practical skills in file transfer\, organization\, and archival best practices\, ensuring that valuable stories are safely preserved for long-term use. Participants will practice setting up tripods\, microphones\, and recorders\, then conduct short mock interviews to apply these skills in real time. Cameras available to participants will be Sony FX6\, Canon XA40\, Blackmagic and JVC 3CCD. The session will conclude with a focus on safe file management: offloading to a computer\, creating backups\, and preparing files for the archive. No prior technical experience is required; this workshop is designed for anyone interested in documenting\, preserving\, and safeguarding oral history materials. \nWhat we’ll do: \n§ Why technical setup matters for oral history \n§ Demonstrate a short 10-minute oral history video/audio project from our archives \n§ Equipment set up: build camera & mics \n§ File offload and management for editing \n§ Best Practices in Archiving Audio- and Videofiles \n§ Tear down gear and put it back safely \n  \nPerks: \n§ Everyone gets to touch gear \n§ Make a check list for oral history kit for everyone to take home \n  \nFrankie Ray is a Montreal-based videographer and DJ\, with professional experience across music festivals\, music videos\, and film productions\, including Netflix\, HBO\, the NFB and Crave. Trained as a certified 2nd Assistant Camera in ICG669/IATSE\, Frankiebrings both technical expertise and creative insight to their work.

SUMMARY:Listening Circles: Telling Interview Stories (Monthly)
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Anna Sheftel\, Stacey Zembrzycki and Cassandra Marsillo\, who are Kitchen Table Collective Members \n\n\nCreating open\, safe\, generative\, and generous spaces to tell interview stories is vital to thinking through the varied challenges that oral historians face in the field. These monthly listening circles\, led by an intergenerational group of practitioners\, will enable COHDS community members to build relationships while they share the issues that keep them awake at night. Talking through what is said or unsaid\, the stories that have a beginning but no end\, the tangents that lead to possibilities or dead ends\, and the interpersonal dynamics that make collaboration possible or problematic are all part of a debriefing process that holds great potential for pushing the field forward. This is work that should not be done alone. All interview stories welcome! \n  \nREGISTRATION \nRegister now with this link \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory.
