International Oral History Association

The International Oral History Association (IOHA) is a professional association established to provide a forum for oral historians around the world.[1] IOHA was formally constituted in June 1996 at the IXth International Oral History Conference in Gothenburg, Sweden.[2] It holds international meetings biennially and publishes a newsletter and journal, Words and Silences/Palabras y Silen, in English and Spanish.[3]

In 2019, the book Giving a voice to the Oppressed? The International Oral History Association as an academic network and political movement edited by Agnès Arp, Annette Leo and Franka Maubach was published, tracing the early history of the IOHA.[4]
