Draft a oral history interview guide

Sanjayan Selvamanickam contacted DsporA Tamil Archive on 08th July 2020 for assistance to create an oral history interview guide to carry out oral history interviews in Norway. He is a Norway based volunteer for Noolaham foundation, who wanted to document the oral history of “migrated life of Tamils in Norway” in audiovisual format; and preserve the contributions at aavanaham.org.

The initiator of DsporA Tamil Archive has been interviewing the migrated Tamils in Norway to document the local history of the development of Tamil education in Norway. It was not started as a project of the DsporA Tamil Archive. Nevertheless, the prepared interview guide for the book project is modified and given here to meet the requested topic, “migrated life of Tamils in Norway”. This guide is created for the Norwegian-Tamil context. However, the questions in this guide can apply to Tamils in other diaspora countries. But it might be necessary to modify the questions to fit the context of other respective diaspora countries.
