I would suggest you look into a digital recorder.  First, you don’t have to buy any tapes & second there is now software you can buy that will do the transcribing in no time.  That is what makes Oral Histories so labor intensive.

Good morning!

We are going to be starting an oral history project soon, but are in need of a small, portable tape recorder. Does anyone have any recommendations for brands or sources? We are interested in the kind that hold the standard-size tapes, not the micro ones. Thanks in advance!
