As well as carrying out oral history interviews yourself you may also be able to access recordings that are held in collections such as the Alexander Turnbull Library.
Lynette is the Oral History Advisor in the Alexander Turnbull Library’s Outreach Services team and can give training, support and advice to oral historians. She has also used oral history extensively in her own research on Wellington’s Chinese community.
