Abstract

The researcher’s Uganda Oral History Project is centered on conducting interviews from the Nnindye community. The researcher believes that these interviews will be of interest to other researchers, practitioners, and the general public. However, the researcher does yet know what the best means are for making the data accessible. Because of the historical component of her research, she needs her data to be preserved indefinitely. During the data collection process, the researcher places high priority on the ability to back up her data. Given that electricity and internet are not always readily available, the researcher needs to have a backup method that is reliable and allows her co-collaborators in the United States to access the data.
