Volunteer as an Oral History Project (OHAP) Indexer

Volunteer as an OHAP Indexer

• Indexers break down completed interview into searchable
  sections to help potential listeners discover oral histories that are relevant to their interests.
• Indexing is a technical keyword and content tagging process used by the Nunn Center to make interviews more accessible for research purposes. Interviews are not publicly viewable until they have been indexed.
• Using an app developed by the Nunn Center, indexers listen to a recorded interview, split it into cohesive segments, identify the theme and keywords in each segment, write a summary, and geolocate the area mentioned in that segment.
• Indexers are required to complete on-line training and work with an OHAP mentor until they have demonstrated competency.
• Click HERE to learn more about indexing.
• Indexers need not be Returned Volunteers.

The RPCV Oral History Archives Project (OHAP) preserves the Peace Corps experience through comprehensive oral history interviews with Returned and Evacuated Peace Corps Volunteers (RPCVs), Peace Corps Staff, and Host Country Counterparts.
