Oral History Bridges the Gap between Academic and Public History

چکیده

This paper focuses on the importance of oral history and its role in connecting public history and academic history. Oral history since 1948 has become a popular field of study in history. In this manner, the main question of this research is how oral history is to bring public history into the world of academic history. The purpose of this paper is to give attention to collecting public history by researchers and oral historians through the oral history process to save history in an academic and organised way in the way of perhaps converting the history of the public or non-academic works to academic and providing them into libraries and archives.
