Hello.

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this survey, a questionnaire for people who have been involved in the creation of digital oral history maps.

In this survey, you will be asked to complete a series of questions about the decisions that were involved in the creation of these maps. It will take approximately five minutes to complete the questionnaire.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and the answers are recorded anonymously. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point.

The results will be used to research the ways that oral histories are linked to online maps.

If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact Penny Johnston by email at [email protected].

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
