Make it personal without making it generic
Use the owner's words for the object and ask which sounds, wear marks, or routines matter to the story.
Presentation
Offer four blank photo positions and five questions, with recording explicitly optional.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- No new display or storage is required; photograph the object where it naturally lives if permitted.
- Skill
- Clear audio, accurate transcription, and consent practice are sufficient.
- Maintenance
- Give the owner the only required copy and a simple path to revise or delete it.
- Accessibility
- Offer spoken, signed, typed, pictured, multilingual, or asynchronous interview formats.
- Sustainability
- Use existing equipment and preserve context without creating a commemorative product.
- Timing
- Keep the conversation under forty-five minutes and allow it to stop without completion.
What to investigate
