This article is intended to open a debate on oral history in higher education and follows on from a series of articles in this journal exploring oral history in schools. While university-based oral history has grown in significance, the number of oral history posts in higher education has remained negligible. Job insecurity and casualisation, widespread in universities, have been particularly evident among oral historians. In Britain, this is in part a result of the way oral history has been funded but is also a result of historical attitudes among oral historians. The article concludes with some suggestions about how oral historians might begin to bridge the gap between demand and resourcing within higher education and build stronger collaborations.
