Are oral histories subject to IRB approval?
New guidelines have been drawn up, in order to determine whether oral history projects are governed by federal guidelines requiring IRB approval. See discussion on the H-ORALHIST internet discussion list. The guidelines themselves are based upon negotiations between the Oral Historal Association, the Organization of American Historians, and the Federal Department of Health and Human Services. http://makeashorterlink.com/?K1F5229B9
