Hi Tim
I don't know if this is of any use, and it does not solve your online
storage problem, but we make a device that creates a Wi-Fi based
'local web' onto which you can put oral histories so that they can be
played on visitor's mobile devices within a museum. You can also
provide locked tablets on loan or as touch-screen kiosks.
The oral histories would have to be cut into digestible chunks - both
for usability and file size reasons. NT Basildon Park have an
excellent example of this, having clustered the 'chunks' into themes
so that visitors can hear different viewpoints on a subject from the
house owners and their staff.
A lot of editing work - I know. They had an intern do it. Visitors can
now though select and play the recordings on their own device while
touring the house.
Happy to give you contact details for Basildon, or pop over and
demonstrate as I live in Melton Mowbray.
Regards
Neil Rathbone

Subject: Online services for hosting oral history interviews
Dear all,
I am currently looking for an online service to host a number of oral
history interviews (in excess of 3 hours in length), which were
completed as part of a project.
Initially I was going to use Soundcloud but this is limited to 3 hours
for free accounts. If anyone knows of a free online service for
hosting these interviews, I'd be grateful for any advice. I've
considered Youtube but I'm not sure if people would be expecting a
video, instead of just audio.
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Tim Savage
