What are the Basic Steps?
 | Formulate an outline of
possible discussion topics. This makes the interview flow much more
naturally, because it focuses on topics that are important and pertinent to
the individual that is being interviewed.
| Plan the project. Consider
such things as end products, budget, who will perform the interview,
equipment, and time frames.
| Conduct background
research – names and dates of family members
| Then the Actual Interview.
| Process interviews
typically by having the interview transcribed and put into typed form, so
that it can be edited more efficiently.
| Evaluate research and
interviews – Determine if there are areas that are lacking and go back and
re-interview the individual for missing information.
| Organize the information
in the transcripts, incorporate photographs, which help make the written
word come alive.
| Determine how the final
project will be preserved…either in a scrapbook format, bound in a
hardcover book….or in a soft-sided book….or spiral bound book, depending
on an individual’s budget.
| Use acid-free materials in
order to preserve the Family History Album for many generations to come. |
