Greetings, We recently completed an oral history project that includes mini DV tapes, a DVD, written and digital transcripts, and digital images. This is the first time we have done oral histories in about 15 years. My question is about the digital transcript. In what format should I save the digital transcript? Text, word, PDF? The digital version is burned on to the DVD as a Word document. I had trouble opening it with Word and ended up opening it with WordPad. Is it best to keep the text in the most basic format?
Thanks! Melissa Melissa Johnson Curator of Interactive Media History San Jose
