I am posting two links here. The first is to a great guide from the Smithsonian Institution on conducting oral history interviews. I'd suggest that to the degree possible, you consider your interviews to be oral histories, about whatever topic you are collecting. This guide is particularly helpful in its descriptions of what to do before, during, and after the actual interview you conduct, so I highly recommend it. The second is just a collection of sample questions from the LSU oral history center. It's useful just to get you focused before you head into an interview.
