College Faculty Educational History Elementary Secondary Education Foreign Countries Higher Education Intellectual Disciplines Interviews Literacy Oral History Reading Teachers The legacy of reading professionals should be preserved through recollections, memories, or life stories of classroom reading teachers and university professors of reading education. The oral history project serves as the appropriate methodology for such an undertaking. The memories that comprise the human library, when preserved through oral history activities, allow the current and future generations to understand: (1) the impact of educational events and important personalities; (2) a holistic view of the literacy profession as a whole and the field's various hierarchical status groups of the past; and (3) the current professional generation since the field's professional ancestors influenced current literacy professionals. The overall purpose of the oral history project should be to preserve contributions to the field of literacy and perspectives on trends in the area of literacy across the past 5 decades. Foundational activities at the beginning of such a project include identification of both the individuals who are to undertake the oral histories and also those individuals who will be interviewed. Sample issues for consideration during the oral history interviews include basic background information, early family background, schooling, professional induction years, graduate school, professional maturity, reflections on personal life, and thoughts about the future of the profession.
