There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to oral history interviews, but after years of listening and learning, we’ve found that these five core practices make a real difference, from careful preparation to thoughtful preservation.

Hugely long shot but if there are any experts here in the geography of late 18th-century Vienna, please get in touch!

I am trying to roughly locate an address but I only have a few details and maps are proving a bit gnarly for a total outsider 🙃 #18c #vienna

Interesting: this is the word cloud of the profile descriptions of everyone who follows me.
Clearly a strong mix of digital humanities, university, research, and data — with a good dose of art, history, and tech.

Makes me wonder: what would yours look like?

Nora was one of the great French intellectual impresarios of the postwar period and truly representative of his generation - in all its imagination and dogmatism. www.lemonde.fr/disparitions...

📍 Milano, Piazzale Loreto – 29 aprile 1945

Bruno Petrali, giovane studente #fiumano, testimone oculare di una scena destinata a entrare nella storia: i corpi dei gerarchi appesi a testa in giù, simbolo della fine del #fascismo.

📍 Gradisca d’Isonzo, 1943
Un giovane rifiuta l’arruolamento fascista. Il padre gli consegna una Beretta nascosta da anni.
Quella notte fugge oltre confine, verso la Slovenia.
Non sarà un soldato. Sarà un partigiano.
