Except, of course, if the anthropological study involves Native peoples,
especially Native Americans in the US.

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.

Funny you should ask this now.  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.

I am seeking Policy & Procedures on guidelines for how to handle
research in this area. WE have reviewed the respective ethical
guidelines but I would appreciate some "instant" guidelines that have
adressed the potential conflict between their independence and our
need for oversight on some issues......

Thank you!
