Sample Agreement Forms

This series of forms consists of sample agreements commonly used in oral history projects. The forms will guide you developing your own agreements, but remember, they are samples only. Each letter of agreement should be adapted to the specific project.

Legal Release Agreement

(See p. 86 for sample; download a template at www.LCoastPress.com)

This is the most important form in an oral history project. Without a Legal Release Agreement signed by the interviewee and the interviewer, an oral history interview may not legally be used in any way. Every Legal Release agreement should be customized for the particular circumstances of the project. We offer this as a sample. Have a separate agreement signed for every interview. See Volumes 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Legal Release Agreement (Restrictions)

(See p. 87 for sample; download a template at www.LCoastPress.com)

Occasionally, special cases concerning the interview come up that aren’t covered in the generic legal release agreement. Examples are an interviewee’s wish that the interview be restricted from public view for a certain amount of time, a request that his name be withheld, and a request that the interview not be made available on the Internet. Though there are many legitimate reasons for placing restrictions on an interview, they should be the exception rather than the rule and the project director should consult with the repository contact as well as a legal advisor before agreeing to one or more restrictions. Adapt this form to specify the restrictions placed on the interview. See Volumes 3 and 5.

Letter of Agreement for Repository

(See p. 88 for sample; download a template at www.LCoastPress.com)

This agreement spells out the relationship between the oral history project and the repository. It is very important to specify, in writing, which agency is responsible for which tasks, for the expenses incurred, and for maintaining the timeframe. See Volumes 2 and 3.

Letter of Agreement for Interviewer

(See p. 89 for sample; download a template at www.LCoastPress.com)

A written agreement such as this emphasizes the professional nature of being an interviewer, and also serves are a backup in case there are misunderstandings. See Volumes 2 and 3.

Letter of Agreement for Transcriber

(See p. 90 for sample; download a template at www.LCoastPress.com)

This letter clarifies the expectations for the transcriber. Usually a single letter for each project transcriber is sufficient. See Volumes 2, 3, and 5.

Project Design Statement

This form helps organize ideas for an oral history project and create a road-map for moving forward. Begin your project with this form and use it as a planning tool. See Volumes 2, 3, and 5.
