  abstract = {This paper describes the preparatory phase of a CLARIN-funded project called `Voices from Ravensbr{\"u}ck', which aims to introduce a new type of corpus in the CLARIN resource family called `Oral Histories'. The first task consisted in curating and transcribing a set of interviews conducted by the Italian author A.M. Bruzzone with five Italian survivors of the Ravensbr{\"u}ck concentration camp back in 1977. This posed considerable challenges inherent in integrating legacy data from the pre-digital era in the CLARIN infrastructure. The second task was exploring the potential of automatic speech transcription for this type of oral history data. The third element of this exploratory phase was identifying potential partners and suitable data for creating a mul-tilingual collection of existing oral history interviews with survivors of concentration camp Ravensbr{\"u}ck. These preparatory steps were necessary to move to the final phase of our project and realise our overall objective of creating a resource family compliant with CLARIN standards and enabling scholars to analyse interviews from a comparative multilingual and multidisciplinary perspective.}
