Oral History Audio Test

To: The Oral History Audio Test Team

We're working on a major effort at the Lawrence History Center to digitize our collection and make it available on the web. As part of that effort we'd like to ask for a little help evaluating some of our oral history (OH) audio which has been digitized. Over the last year, we hired an audio engineer to process 130 of our 700 oral histories. He has given us back these 130 mp3 files and we now need to assess them to see if the audio processing quality is at the right level, so as to set the right standard for the processing of the remaining 570 interviews. This represents a significant investment of time and money for the LHC, so we'd like your help by listening to a small number of these recordings and giving us feedback regarding your perception of their audio quality. Since you've all been enthusiastic supporters of the LHC we thought you would like being included in the 'OH Test Team'. We would like to collect your feedback over the next 2-3 weeks. If for any reason you don't have the time or can't participate, please let Barbara, Pam, or I know and we'll find someone else to take your place.

Many thanks,
Matt
