Following my posting asking for advice on equipment, you have all been exceptionally helpful- as usual. I have been asked by many to post my findings because I seem to have struck a topic which is of wide interest. The site which offers the most help is www.ohs.org.uk and is the site of the Oral History Society. They recommend how you go about interviewing, what type of equipment is preferred for recording and what type of software is recommended for archiving. The Imperial War Museum, who have over 20,000 recordings use a Marantz system which is quite expensive at £600-700 but you only need to use this if you require your recordings to be of broadcast standard. They did however recommend the use of two microphones which require separate feeds. I will probably opt for a standard mini disc recorder with two mikes and save the recordings onto gold CD's. Hope that helps and I hope you have as much pleasure from interviews as I do.
