  • Guide to Recording Oral Histories War by Awm Memorial
    AUSTRALIAN GUIDE TO RECORDING ORAL HISTORIES WAR BY AWM MEMORIAL Introduction This guide provides general advice for members of the public, about the conduct and technique for recording oral history interviews with past or current serving members of the Australian Defence Forces. Oral histories can be a valuable resource for personal use, interest or reference. You may be undertaking a community heritage project, or perhaps you wish to interview a parent, friend or relative. You might be a retired veteran wishing to make a record of your recollections. Many people feel the need to record the experiences of others for posterity, either because the recollections tell an important story, or are rich in and of themselves. The Memorial receives many nominations for oral history interview, and it is not possible to meet every request. The Memorial has created this guide as a way to help people to conduct interviews with veterans. It is intended to cover principles of ethical oral history practice, a subject for which further references can be found at the end of this guide, together with specific recommendations for interviewing war veterans. This guide is based on the experience of Memorial staff, on advice from experienced historians and on expertise available from other sources such as the Oral History Association of Australia (OHAA) and in particular, Beth Robertson’s guide to oral history, which is available through the OHAA. Robertson’s book is cited at the end of this guide. Please note that the Memorial cannot guarantee the acquisition of any recordings resulting from private interview projects.

Reynolds* “Monday 15 February marked a turning point in the history of the Royal Canadian Navy.” These were the words of Commander Maurice Turner, captain of the destroyer escort Her Majesty’s Canadian Ship (HMCS) Saskatchewan.2 He wasn’t speaking of the creation of the Naval Service in 1910, or some great event of the Second World War, or the end of the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) as a separate service within the Canadian military, but was referring instead to Proclamation Day—15 February 1965. That day, the National Flag was raised across Canada for the first time. Within the RCN it also meant something else. It meant the loss of other beloved symbols, borne by Canadian warships in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War—symbols under which Canadian sailors had fought, shed blood and, when necessary, INSIDE / SOMMAIRE Page died for King, country, and Editor’s Note / Note de la rédaction 2 one another.
