StoRe – Reusing oral history as research and heritage data

Public Summary
Oral history has become an integral part of the research and heritage world in the Netherlands. Despite the growing number of oral history datasets and the developed infrastructure for researchers and heritage actors, there is a lack of coherent guidelines for the collection and re-use of oral history data. This project coordinates the development of such guidelines and lays the foundations for a national network to promote the reusability of these qualitative datasets and ensure sustainable future reuse. We do this on the basis of co-creation with communities of researchers, community archives and museums.
