Abstract

This presentation discusses an oral history project undertaken by archivist John Davis at Special Collections in Performing Arts (SCPA) at the University of Maryland. Since 2017, Davis has interviewed more than thirty fanzine creators from the Washington, D.C. punk subculture and has gathered the interviews in a series of the D.C. Punk and Indie Fanzine collection. The presentation includes examples of the interviews and also describes how the interviews were conducted using the Oral History Association's best practices.
