Somerset Rural Life Museum in Glastonbury have done a lot of oral
history work (much undertaken by a group of the Friends I believe).
Isn't there a Society for Oral History? I don't have the information to
hand but the Museums Yearbook should help. For overseas information,
especially the USA, you could try posting a message on the Museum-L
list.
Good luck
