| Abstract | Aside from psychiatrists and psychologists, oral historians are members of the discipline that deals with memory more than any other students of society. Yet oral historians have neglected the study of memory for seemingly more practical concerns. But if oral historians are to exercise any qualitative control over their work, they must come to grips with memory as a determinator of human reactions. Reviews the primary results of psychology in the study of memory and outlines a means for oral historians to deal with memory in their work. 15 notes.
