Answer:
Perhaps the most important difference between oral history and traditional history is the personal nature of the former. Oral history typically involves interviews with individuals who either tell their life stories or focus on a certain aspect of their history. In the latter case, they might focus on their involvement in a particularly important historical event, such as their association with the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, or on a specific period time, such as their experiences on the home front during World War II. Oral history is often one person’s point of view, unless someone gathers a series of interviews on the same issue together in a volume. As a source of information, oral histories, since they rely on the memories of individuals, have to be used selectively and their facts checked carefully.
A traditional written history, by contrast, uses a variety of sources, which may include oral interviews, government reports, newspaper articles, letters, diaries and personal papers
