"[Oral history] can be used to change the focus of history itself, and open up new areas of inquiry; it can break down barriers between teachers and students, between generations, between educational institutions and the world outside; and in the writing of history--whether in books, or museums, or radio and film--it can give back to the people who made and experienced history, through their own words, a central place."
