The Local Fisheries Knowledge (LFK) Database is a free
web-based database where all interview transcripts associated
with the Local Fisheries Knowledge Project are published,
with consent of the interviewees. The LFK Database is searchable
by topics and
demographic information.
Students
transcribe the interviews and provide a summary for the
database. They classify, or content code, each
interview according to the topics listed in the database.
In addition, students provide background information
about the interview participants, such as age, gender,
and occupation.

Archive Your Interviews in the LFK Database
Oral historians, professional researchers, graduate
students, and others with local fisheries knowledge interviews
are encouraged to archive their transcripts in NOAA's
Local Fisheries Knowledge Database starting in the fall of 2006.

** This project uses interviews
as a method to collect LFK and is not a general interview
project. The interviews published in the LFK Database
should fall into the category of local fisheries knowledge,
rather than scientific knowledge. How
is scientific knowledge different? However, students
are strongly encouraged to talk with or interview scientists
and fisheries managers for background information in
preparation for their LFK interviews or to compare
with information obtained from the LFK interviews.
