If an oral history project is intended only to gather and archive information, and does not involve “research” in the ordinary sense of the term, then such a project may be exempt from IRB review. However, it is best to submit an application so that the IRB committee can make this determination. If a project includes oral history as only one element of the research protocol, then the overall project still needs to be approved by the IRB Committee.
