公共图书馆与民间社团合作开展口述历史实践研究——以宁波市北仑区为例

Public Library, Civil Society and the practice of Oral History——Take Beilun District of Ningbo City as an example

记录当代公众史的最基本手段无疑是口述史,公共图书馆不仅是口述历史理想的存储场所,也是口述历史公共获得与利用的最佳平台之一。近年来国内一大批民间社团活跃在口述历史田野调查一线。新媒体时代,公共图书馆如何利用社团力量开展口述历史工作,是当前图书馆延伸服务的重要课题。文章以宁波市北仑区为例,探讨利用社团(北仑城市声像记忆工程志愿小组)力量在公共图书馆开展口述历史的途径和方法。

Oral is arguably one of the most fundamental ways of recording contemporary public history.A public library does not only provide tremendous storage spaces for the orally-recorded historical data but also serves as an ideal platform for the public to obtain and/or use the oral historical information.In recent years,a mounting number of non-governmental organizations are actively working at the front lines on the cause of oral history.It has become vitally important in such a media age for public libraries to branch out business scope by including oral history in their service.The article,taking Beilun,Ningbo as example,gives a discussion on how to utilize the public libraries,consolidating the work of organizations,e.g.Beilun Volunteer Team of Urban Memory Project in this study,to facilitate oral history.
