What You'll See Around the Site

The "www.sohp.org" website provides a comprehensive description of the Southern Oral History Program, and facilitates ongoing updated reports on the SOHP's work and activities. The site also makes possible the online presentation of an expanding selection of multimedia files (audio and video) and text files (particularly transcripts) in various forms. The site also furthers the work of oral history through the distribution of "how to" materials related to the practice of oral history.

As you tour the site, you'll encounter a series of icons that serve as convenient links to multimedia and text files. The "key" at left explains this icon scheme.
