FAIR Memories: A Workflow for the Preservation and Collaborative Reuse of Analog Oral History Collections - poster AIUCD 2026

FAIR Memories is a Horizon Europe-funded project developing a reusable workflow for the FAIR-ification of legacy oral history collections to allow for the transition of these important but underused collections to current Open Science standards. Making use of a unique analog collection about Italian mass culture, the workflow is being developed jointly by domain experts and digital humanists with particular attention to the preservation of the recorded voice as a core epistemic dimension, standards-based interoperability, semantic enrichment, and compliance with contemporary privacy regulations. This poster presents the initial stages of the project, detailing the collection used, the proposed steps of the workflow, and key theoretical approaches.
