Vital issues for researchers: Ethics, Privacy and Copyright

Presenter: Pauleen Cass

This event will be recorded and the recording will be available to those who have registered for one month.

When we start our family history as newbie genealogists, we are unlikely to anticipate the potential hazards of our research: emotional, ethical, or legal. Over time we become exposed to some of these issues, but we may be unsure of our footing and exactly what our position should be in terms of ethics or legal matters like copyright or privacy.

This talk will provide examples of some of the ethical (and possibly emotional) challenges as well as setting out our legal obligations with copyright and privacy.

Our speaker: Pauleen Cass

When ‘life story’ becomes ‘life history’ - an oral history approach.

Presenter: Dr Maree Ganley

Oral history is the collection of stories and reminiscences of people who have firsthand knowledge of any number of experiences. The starting point of Maree’s latest work, The Long Road to School, Sea Pictures of a Convent Boarding School, was the collection of life stories that she gathered. The work is in keeping with qualitative research methodology, with multiple approaches and types of oral history. There is an extensive pedagogy behind oral history and gathering personal recollections.

Oral history extends the boundaries of traditional history.

Maree has approached the task of establishing a continuous and cohesive record of 140 years of diocesan history under the main threads and themes of origin, engagement, leadership and culture. These elements are viewed firstly through the lens of ‘public memory’ in archives, library shelves, newspapers and academic discourse. Secondly, there is ‘personal memory’ or oral history of the personal recollections of religious beliefs and practices of people of all ages and cultural backgrounds, as a diversity of experiences, perspectives, interpretations and subjectivities.
