NOTICE!
This year’s business meeting will be held virtually on October 1st, 2024 from 3pm - 4:30pm CDT. We
encourage all members that can to attend! The link to the meeting will be forthcoming.
Instead of all 90 minute sessions, OHA this year is offering both 60 and 90 minute sessions. Please pay close
attention to times and assigned session lengths.
We are piloting a new session type: "Project Spotlights." Similar to lightning rounds, these sessions give
presenters an opportunity to highlight their papers or projects alongside work that touches on similar issues
or types of oral history practice.
We will be using SCHED as a supplement to this year’s program. More details to come in August!
