<p>Community archiving is a movement with its origins in the grass-roots activities of documenting, recording and exploring community heritage in a way that focuses on community participation and ownership of records. This research was about a Māori archiving community of practice from Taranaki and investigated how the training they received created outcomes for their taonga archives and families. It did this by answering three research questions designed to identify how post-custodial trends in community archiving resonated with, or differed from, the methods employed by 11 former students of Te Pūtē Routiriata o Taranaki community archive in New Plymouth. This research took a qualitative oral history approach to data gathering and used thematic analysis to examine evidence gathered from three generations of whānau archivists. It investigated whether community archiving had enhanced their collections of whānau history passed down from generation to generation and connected the close family groups that were looking after them. This study proposes a concept of whānau-led collection management as a model of practice for flax-roots communities and public heritage institutions that work with taonga Māori. It explains the link between collectively caring for archival collections and positive outcomes for whānau engagement with te reo Māori and other forms of cultural identity building. It draws on international examples to suggest ways that practices of community archiving, such as digitisation and digital archiving, can bridge the gap between community-led and institutional methods of caring for tangible and intangible cultural heritage.</p>

This chapter introduces readers to the book’s research questions, interventions, intellectual foundations, and Johnson’s narrators. Here, Johnson explains the personal and intellectual impetuses for creating the work. He discusses how the book uses oral history to demonstrate Black, queer, Southern women’s constructions of their identities and casts storytelling as the primary mode through which his narrators theorize their lives. Most importantly, Johnson argues for the importance of studying sexuality in ways that move beyond identity and, instead, account for the polyvalent nature of desire. Lastly, this part of the book situates Black. Queer. Southern. Women.: An Oral History as the companion text to Sweet Tea: Black Gay Men of the South.

History Approach

Western literature has focused on medical plurality but also on the pervasive existence of quacks who managed to survive from at least the eighteenth to the twentieth century. Focal points of their practices have been their efforts at enrichment and their extensive advertising. In Greece, empirical, untrained healers in the first half of the twentieth century do not fit in with this picture. They did not ask for payment, although they did accept ‘gifts’; they did not advertise their practice; and they had fixed places of residence. Licensed physicians did not undertake a concerted attack against them, as happened in the West against the quacks, and neither did the state. In this paper, it is argued that both the protection offered by their localities to resident popular healers and the healers’ lack of demand for monetary payment were jointly responsible for the lack of prosecutions of popular healers. Moreover, the linking of popular medicine with ancient traditions, as put forward by influential folklore studies, also reduced the likelihood of an aggressive discourse against the popular healers. Although the Greek situation in the early twentieth century contrasts with the historiography on quacks, it is much more in line with that on wise women and cunning-folk. It is thus the identification of these groups of healers in Greece and elsewhere, mostly through the use of oral histories but also through folklore studies, that reveals a different story from that of the aggressive discourse of medical men against quacks.

The concept of wellness provides a positive view of life development that can support psychological support and counseling. There is little in the literature about wellness and seniors, especially women. This study describes one senior woman’s wellness across the life span by addressing two research questions: (a) What are the experiences of one woman’s wellness across the life span as analyzed through the lens of the Indivisible Self (Myers & Sweeney, 2004, 2005) model of wellness; and (b) What experiences does one woman describe related to the model’s second order factors: the Creative Self; the Coping Self; the Social Self; the Essential Self; and the Physical Self? We used an oral history method to gather the narrative and analyzed her narrative using the Indivisible Self model of wellness. Findings include a descriptive picture of wellness for this woman as it relates to the Second Order factors of the Indivisible Self model.

This study examines the characterisation of issues in the 1999 Yoruba-Hausa inter-ethnic conflict in Sagamu, south-western Nigeria. The occurrence of the1999 Yoruba-Hausa conflict in Sagamu had some historical significance. It was the first inter-ethnic conflict that occurred two months after the enthronement of democracy in Nigeria in 1999. Furthermore, it was the first inter-ethnic conflict between the Yoruba and the Hausa in Sagamu community after many centuries of peaceful co-existence. Therefore, the authors investigate how four major Nigerian national newspapers, National Concord, The Guardian, The Punch and Nigerian Tribune reported and characterised issues during this conflict. The study triangulates between indepth interview and content analysis research methods for data gathering in order to unpack issues embedded in the research questions. Theoretically, the study explicates framing theory given its relationship and appropriateness to the characterisation of issues in the selected newspapers in relation to the conflict. This study finds that the largest number of the stories analysed were characterised and framed around disunity and disintegration while death and economy dominate the themes that were reported in the selected newspapers over other themes. Therefore, the study concludes that, the strategic position of a newspaper is a considerable factor that should propel journalists to place high premium on social responsibility, public service and accountability in conflict reporting.

INTRODUCTION: Many qualitative studies examine older people’s attitudes towards their medicines. Often these studies focus on the topic of medicines adherence. In contrast, this study aims to explore the attitudes of older people, aged 75 years and older, towards their regular prescription and non-prescription medicines. METHODS: This study comprised two investigations of people aged 75 years and older. In the first investigation, 20 people were purposefully selected and interviewed, using an oral history approach, about their experiences of medicines over a lifetime. In the second investigation, 40 people were recruited from two internal medicine wards. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with participants about their experiences of medicine changes after discharge from hospital. All 60 interviews were digitally recorded, transcribed verbatim, coded using NVivo and analysed thematically. FINDINGS: Participants disliked having to take prescription medicines, but the majority believed they were necessary. They also trusted their doctor’s expertise regarding medicines. Most participants believed it was important to take their prescription medicines regularly, even if they sometimes forgot to take them. They were not anxious about possible side effects. Most participants aimed to limit the use of analgesics and non-prescription medicines which they perceived as unnecessary. CONCLUSION: Even taking into account participants’ dislike of having to take prescription medicines, they were willing to accept medicines as part of their everyday routine, as they believed they were necessary. This suggests that many older people may be more willing to take their medicines than some studies on adherence in the wider population have indicated.

<p><em>“When there is a will, there will be a way”, this proverbs is held firmly by Khaidir Sangngaji</em><em>, </em><em>a person born with a disability from a simple family. Only determination and perseverance are the capital of advancing education in the area. In 1995 he began to demonstrate his leadership skills with his success in inviting the Bajo community to jointly build Islamic boarding schools. Based on this background, this research was conducted to reveal the biography of Khaidir Sangngaji and his struggle in the world of education. The study was conducted in Bajo Subdistrict, Luwu Regency, South Sulawesi, using the History method through an oral history approach. The results of the study showed that Khaidir Sangngaji who was born with disabilities with his arms and legs was stiff, had to fight hard to get an education. That condition led him to study in a pesantren in Java. In 1995, Khaidir Sangngaji returned to Luwu to serve in the Islamic Boarding School Datuk Sulaiman, while completing his undergraduate education. He then built a pesantren in his village, with the name Babussa'adah Bajo Modern Islamic Boarding School. Persuasive strategies carried out against regional leaders and the Luwu community</em><em> and</em><em> </em><em>p</em><em>roduces four important things, namely; 1) establishment of an organization of pesantren foundations, 2) fundraising for development 3) retrieval of strategic locations namely a level of Madrasah Tsanawiyah which was later transformed into Islamic boarding schools, and 4) bringing religious teachers to support pesantren. At present, Islamic boarding schools have cared for six levels of education, namely: Early Childhood Education (PAUD), Raudhatul Athfal, Ibtidaiyah Madrasah, Madrasah Tsanawiyah, Madrasah Aliyah, and Tahfidzul Quran. </em><em></em></p>
