Many people climb a mountain or try rock climbing, but a small group define themselves as "Climbers."

These are their stories.

Oral Histories

Open to anyone who wishes to submit video stories and photos

 

The Outdoor History Project's mission is to collect, preserve, and make accessible the personal accounts of climbers, mountaineers, backcountry skiers and adventurers so that future generations may hear directly from them and better understand their unique life styles and experiences.

 

Participate
Share your story. Simply sit down with a friend and video record a conversation about your climbing history and experiences for 30 minutes or longer. Interview a climber or mountaineer in your family or community. Collect historical documents and photographs. Our oral history interviews seek an in-depth account of personal experience and reflections, with sufficient time allowed to give their story the fullness they deserve.

 

 

 

Oral History

Oral history refers both to a method of recording and preserving oral testimony and to the product of that process. It begins with an audio or video recording of a first person account made by an interviewer with an interviewee (also referred to as narrator), both of whom have the conscious intention of creating a permanent record to contribute to an understanding of the past. A verbal document, the oral history, results from this process and is preserved and made available in different forms to other users, researchers, and the public. A critical approach to the oral testimony and interpretations are necessary in the use of oral history.
