Summary/Abstract: The article diagnoses the need to create a space for collaborative analysis of interviews in the frame of oral history, which as a research practice and civic activity has long been present both in Polish historiography and in Polish culture. After many years of improving methodological skills of interviewing, processing and archiving oral accounts, as well as advancing ethical reflection, the time has come to disseminate oral sources, as well as to undertake analytical work on both existing material and newly collected interviews. This text is an encouragement to participate in the Oral History Seminars, which will aim, in addition to the collective interpretation of sources, to bring together theoretical, methodological and ethical reflection from representatives of various disciplines, centers and organizations that practice oral history in Poland.
