Volume 40 (Issue 1 Winter-Spring 2013) of the Oral History Review is a special issue that builds on and extends 
the work of the Oral History in the Digital Age (OHDA) Project. That project began with a grant proposal to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in the National Leadership Grants category. The original intent of OHDA was, essentially, to articulate best practices for oral history in the digital age, emphasizing the collecting, curating, and disseminating phases of the oral history trajectory, with a specific focus on technologies, intellectual property, and digital video. The original project proposal was submitted by MATRIX: Center for Humane Arts, Letters & Social Sciences Online at Michigan State University, in partnership with the Oral History Association, the American Folklore Society, the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, and, later, the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History at the University of Kentucky Libraries.
The special issue, guest edited by Doug Boyd, contains 14 articles that cover issues of collecting, curating, and disseminating oral history as well as a number of case studies. Of the 14 articles, 6 are free to access online. Go to the The Oral History Review online to find out more (https://ohr.oxfordjournals.org/content/current).
