DESCRIPTION
Delivering Hybrid Oral Histories Using Limited Time and Resources. Society of American Archivists 2013. Cyndi Shein shares a strategy that can be used to streamline the processing of hybrid archival collections (born-digital and analog) of oral history interviews (audiovisual recordings and transcripts). The strategy employs the resource management approach commonly referred to as "MPLP" and the presentation focuses on inexpensive or free tools used to manage digital files--tools that are user-friendly and easy to implement.TRANSCRIPT
