Welcome to the Oral History Committee home page!
The Oral History Committee was formed in 1986 to accurately record and store remembrances of baseball's past.
Committee members interview former major and minor league ballplayers, coaches, managers, umpires, executives, writers, broadcasters - even groundskeepers! A library of audio and video tapes and compact disks of these interviews has been established for research purposes.
The committee has collaborated with the National Baseball Library to form two centers - Cooperstown NY and SABR HQ in Cleveland OH - for the storage and distribution of the tapes and disks. The development of an web-based streaming audio application accessible to SABR members is a committee goal.
The committee offers guidelines for conducting effective oral history interviews, maintains a list of SABR's oral history library, operates an online discussion forum and also publishes an annual report detailing the activities of the members.
To join the committee's eGroup, simply send a note to: SABR-Oral-History-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
The Interim Committee Chair is Rod Nelson.
The Chair Emeritus is Dave Paulson
