Oral History Consent Form
Consent to Participate in Histories of Humanities Computing: Oral
Histories and Administrative Documents.
This is to state that I agree to participate in a program of
research being conducted by collaborating researchers led by
Geoffrey Rockwell, Professor of Humanities Computing based in the
Department of Philosophy (email:
geoffrey.rockwell@ualberta.ca).
MISSION STATEMENT:
"To acquire, preserve, and make accessible materials in
all formats documenting the history of Humanities Computing in
Canada. The Group seeks to develop an archive of materials and oral
histories related to the emergence of humanities computing in
Canada for the benefit of the academic community and the general
public."
PURPOSE: I have been informed that the purpose of the project is to
collect and preserve the oral histories and administrative
documents of individuals who participated in the origins and/or
development of the discipline of Humanities Computing in Canada.
Organisers of the project hope to provide researchers and the
public with access to these histories and documents.
PROCEDURES: Interviews will take place online using Skype and will
be captured via an audio recording device or software program such
as Call Recorder for Skype or IMCapture for Skype. Interviewees
will be asked to participate in two 1-hour interview sessions.
Following the first interview the interviewer will compile a set of
field notes within 24 hours of the interview which they will share
with other members of the research team to identify any areas of
interest to focus on during the second interview. Additionally the
interviewee will be asked to bring any interesting documents or
pictures with them to the second interview. A second set of field
notes will be written after the second session. Upon completion of
both interviews the research team will send the interviewee audio
recordings of their interviews. At any time up until publication or
the depositing of the records into the archive the interviewee will
be allowed to withdraw from the study. Should they withdraw we will
destroy the audio and not archive it. The researchers will use the
field notes to also populate a database that summarizes the types
of answers to common questions.
RISKS AND BENEFITS: Minimal risk to participants is anticipated
though you are free to withdraw your participation in the research
without penalty at any time up until we archive the audio and/or
field notes. This study will directly benefit digital humanities
scholars by way of recording, documenting and archiving the
community???s history.
