The project Interviews Going Open! addresses the challenge of sharing sensitive interview data within the humanities and social sciences. Interviews are valuable sources of information, but concerns about privacy and ethical considerations often hinder their open accessibility. Another common challenge is how to make "thick description" (a property of qualitative fieldwork) suitable for metadata (which is often criticized as oversimplification in qualitative research). This handout documents the process, including the number of hours needed for each task and our questions as they arise. In doing so, we identify challenges faced by qualitative researchers and offer lowkey, realistic, practical, and tailored solutions based on a corpus of 25 interviews in a small and possibly easily recognizable community.
