- begin with a few well-conducted, in-depth interviews and
process fully (prepare/conduct interview, transcribe). This will
help establish a pattern of management and paperwork.

- archives require a deed of gift or contract before opening an
oral history for research.
- deed of gift establishes who (interviewer, oral history
project, or repository) owns the copyright in the interview and
what may be done with it. Some deeds jointly assign copyright to
the public domain (all parties waive their rights to copyright);
this simplifies the administration but offers little control.
- deeds of gift should be drawn broadly enough to cover
electronic and other forms of reproduction.
- projects should develop a standard deed of gift or contract
(can be used for all interviewees).
- verbal agreement on the recording may serve as an oral
contract should interviewee die before signing gift/contract
(otherwise must seek out next of kin). To avoid headaches the deed
of gift should be collected when the interview is collected.
- interviewees may close all or portions of an interview for as
long as necessary.
