Oral histories constitute a common source of research data for linguists, historians, as well as for social and cultural anthropologists. However, respective discourses on this theme have rarely been interdisciplinary. During a workshop at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS) in December 2015, it became apparent how scientists from various fields of research can benefit from such an intellectual exchange. With its contributions to minority languages and linguistic contact varieties this volume aims at bridging this gap by providing multifaceted interdisciplinary views on diverse approaches to oral history research.This volume contains contributions by Lyudmila S. Bogoslovskaya, Michael Duerr, Ophira Gamliel, Annette Gerstenberg, Erich Kasten, Sonya Kinsey, Igor Krupnik, Cord Pagenstecher, Stefan Pfänder, Michael Riessler, Katja Roller, and Joshua Wilbur.

Erich Kasten studied social and cultural anthropology and taught at the Free University of Berlin. He has conducted extensive field research in the Canadian Pacific Northwest and in Kamchatka and has curated international museum exhibitions. As the first coordinator of the Siberian research group at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle, he studied transformations in Post-Soviet Siberia. In ensuing projects for UNESCO and the National Science Foundation, he documented and analyzed indigenous knowledge. Since 2010 he has been the director of the Foundation for Siberian Cultures in Fürstenberg/Havel (Germany). More recently he has also applied himself to developing web archives and Internet interfaces with the purpose of enhancing access and sustaining endangered cultural heritage.
