Oral history and local history

Abstract
Both the oral approach and the local focus are at the less generalised end of historical methodology where there is more likelihood of encountering the everyday. It could be said that the more everyday the more oral, because written records are biased towards central and special events and provincial and articulate people. Thus local and oral fit well together.
