Bearing Public Witness: Documenting Memories of
Struggle and Resistance will be the theme for the Oral
History Association's 2001 Annual Meeting, scheduled for
October 17-21, 2001 in St. Louis, MO at the Millenium St.
Louis.
This year's conference will focus on the challenges of
collecting and documenting memories and histories that
reflect social and political disorder, trauma, violence, and
genocide. The program includes many panels, papers,
roundtables, workshops, performances, and films that
focus on the philosophical and practical strategies for
documenting individual narratives and collective
memories. Several presentations will focus on the ethical
issues of setting standards for collection and
dissemination of narratives of trauma and oppression in
digital environments.
