Oral History Beyond the Archive:
Oral History in Documentary Filmmaking
Virtual Program
April 14, 2022
6:00 - 8:00 PM
Enhance your skills as a filmmaker by learning how to incorporate oral
history into your work.
This webinar is for local filmmakers who wish to learn more about what oral
history is, and how they can effectively and meaningfully use it in their
work. Facilitated by National Geographic Explorer, Tribeca Film
Institute-supported documentary filmmaker, and DC Oral History
Collaborative trainer, Maggie Lemere, the course will cover:
- What makes oral history distinct from other forms of interviewing;
- The fundamentals of an oral history practice;
- How oral history can be used in documentary film including: project
design, story discovery, relationship and reciprocity with participants,
and consent.
The pilot session will provide participants with examples of several
documentary films of which oral history is an integral part, an opportunity
to discuss their questions, and ideas for how to connect with DC’s oral
history ecosystem as they move forward in their work (including future
training and funding and accessing archives).

Oral History Coffee Chat:
Race & Environmental Justice in Ward 8
Virtual Program
April 30, 2022
11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
In 2020, Ward 8 Woods Conservancy, launched an oral history initiative
aimed at exploring questions like:
“What does the “disfavor” of a Black community actually look and sound
like?” and
“What do service disparities look like east of the Anacostia River?”
Their project seeks to encourage a new generation of DC residents to
explore the city’s urban forests, and to examine the intersection of
ecological harm, systems of racial oppression, and the psychological
wounding caused by the status quo.
Through the “Over the River and Through the Woods” oral history project,
April’s DC Oral History Collaborative Coffee Chat will examine how systemic
racism has been a source of pollution as devastating as any other; a
contamination that is in dire need of our attention. Participants will hear
from lifelong, Black Washingtonians who will discuss how violent legacies
of neglect and multigenerational poverty produce trauma in the human mind
and the Earth simultaneously.
Join us April 30th to learn about the mental health benefits of DC’s park
and forest spaces and ways YOU can reclaim compassion for yourself by
caring for the life around you.

DC Oral History Collaborative:
Oral History 101+
3 Part Virtual Workshop
May 3, 10 & 17, 2022
6:30 - 8:30 PM
Learn how to record oral history interviews with your family, friends, and
community.
This course, led by Anna Kaplan, PhD., will introduce Washingtonians
interested in becoming oral historians to the best practices of doing oral
history, to empower them with the basic tools for developing their style
and approach to preserving DC’s rich past through oral history interviews.
This course is structured to follow the full cycle of an oral history
interview, from conception to processing. We will discuss practical and
theoretical considerations of doing oral history–including COVID safety
considerations – in order to demonstrate the distinctive, interdisciplinary
mindset that oral historians take to their work. Because oral history is
best learned “on the job,” the instructor will ask you to do activities and
to discuss your experiences along the way.
There is a lot of material to cover, so participants will also be asked to
do some reading and exercises between sessions in preparation.
