Summary/Abstract: Chronicle: Globalization and the Digital Revolution, the Fourth Phase in the Development of Oral History: Looking Back at the 14th International Oral History Conference, Sydney The author reports on the conference “Dancing with Memory: Oral History and its Audiences,” organized by the International Oral History Association (IOHA) in Sydney, Australia, 12–16 July 2006. In discussing the papers given there the author familiarizes us with the development of the field of oral history and its connection with the establishment of the IOHA and the organization of international conferences. He then reports on some of the papers and topics discussed in Sydney, such as the relationship between oral history and other kinds of sources, the tension between individual and collective memory, the comparison of oral-history research and its results, and the globalization and digitalization of the fi eld. In conclusion he raises the question of the possible founding of a Czech (or even Czech-Slovak) Oral History Association with links to the IOHA, which could in certain circumstances contribute to the development of the fi eld in the Czech Republic, as would the holding of an international oral history conference in Prague in 2010, which was also discussed in Sydney.
