Red IOHA Covid-19

The Covid-19 pandemic struck at the heart of the international oral history community. What began as an informal email list of oral historians around the world concerned with the pandemic’s impact on the profession evolved into a Zoom discussion group to share on respective Covid-19 projects. Expanding through word-of-mouth, the group was eventually inscribed as an official subcommittee of the IOHA and also invited to participate in the IOHA Virtual Conference 2021 on a panel discussing COVID-19 as a catalyst for change in oral history.

The following list showcases Covid-related links by network members.
