| Summary: | The advance of digitization has meant a quantum leap in oral history (extensive dissemination of sound and image recordings, efficiency of data processing, extended research subjects, new relationship to public space, new possibilities for analysis). This situation raises methodological and ethical questions for analysis and archiving. If oral historians have developed guidelines to promote the dignity and protection of project participants, the new opportunities afforded by technological changes imply to agree on new ethical standards related to new technologies (internet, storage media) and future usage. This article is an exploration of the ethical issues around reusing interview documents. To this end, the author outlines various professional standards and discusses specific questions based on her own project experiences. Finally, with reference to existing guidelines, the author proposes a way of addressing research ethical issues related to the historiographical reuse of interview documents. |
