How many oral archives are in your home? Piloting a new Tuscan census in the Gra.fo Reloaded project

In this paper, we describe the pilot phase of a new census of Tuscan oral archives promoted by the Gra.fo Reloaded project. Building on a long research tradition, the Gra.fo Reloaded census strives to take a step forward by a) updating the contents of previous similar endeavors; b) promoting contemporary initiatives to strengthen the oral archive research community; c) adapting well-established pretesting procedures of National census agencies to its specific context. 13 individuals of diverse disciplinary backgrounds were asked to fill in the census form while thinking aloud; then, they completed an Italian reduced version of the Questionnaire of User Interface Satisfaction (QUIS). The results make a solid argument for running similar procedures in census construction processes and being aware of the features of our survey tools.
