If the project is simply an oral history, in which a person's retelling of his/her life experiences is just retold by someone else, it is not research and does not require review. However, if someone is going to utilize someone's retelling of his/her life experiences to draw some kind of conclusion, then it requires review. In dealing with anthropology, if the info. is public information, which often times anthropological data is publicly available, it would not involve human subjects and does not require review.

I am in the process of scheduling meetings with historians, anthropologists, IRB administrators/directors and IRB members to talk out some of these issues. To date, we apply the exact same rules and procedures for these scientists as we do others. But, hopefully we can do some streamlining to benefit all parties without sacrificing the integrity of the protections for the subjects. The oral historian in the group is very active in his professional association around issues of IRB - and their intrusion into the work of oral history - but is very willing to try to work out a consensus around the issues. We shall see what comes of this effort. John John R.
