Presented at the oral history society conference 2015 Oral histories of Science, Technology and Medicine Abstract: The digital revolution and the democratisation of the internet have increased the availability and accessibility of oral history artefacts on the internet. A Google search for “oral history” brings up a plethora of stakeholders ranging from institutions like the British Library, to community oral history projects. Here, we can follow the trajectory of narratives from a broad range of subjects through audio excerpts, short film clips, animations, illustrations, maps and photographs. This allows us to bypass the written word and experience the narrative in multi -modal ways. This transformation is palpable. There is a growing literature about the relationship between emergent digital technologies and oral history practice, however we are yet to consider in detail how the digital and internet revolution has affected our subjects. The internet and social media has opened up a space for marginalised voices, not only to “speak for themselves” but to construct their online identities. In my project about the role which activists played in the medical marijuana movement, majority of my subjects have an extensive internet and social media presence. Websites, facebook and blogs are strategic branding tools used to construct identities, personal narratives and ideologies creating multiple layers of information and the blurring of boundaries between, the “ person” “the branded person” and the “networked person.” “Networked person” is a working terminology which refers to online information about the subject. This paper will use a case study approach to open up discussions and explore the methodological and ethical issues in conducting oral history within this framework
