The Oral History Initiative (OHI) is a Kosovo based non-profit organization consisting of a collective of researchers of different generations, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Serving as a pioneer in new media formats, OHI locates its practice within the field of digital humanities, cultural heritage, and memory studies. The Initiative engages with Kosovo’s history in a non-formulaic way, trying to recover the interplay of individual and collective memories, beyond constructed group narratives – whether ethnic or national. Our publicly available multilingual digital archive, www.oralhistorykosovo.org, presents recorded life stories of individuals from all walks of life as video, audio, and text. The Initiative was conceived in the summer of 2012 from a collaboration between the Kosova Women’s Network (Pristina) and The New School for Public Engagement (New York City). In 2015, OHI became an independent non-governmental organization.
