Note on oral sources.
Oral sources are usually contacted when
documentary sources have been exhausted. However, oral sources must
agree to be quoted in a publicly available Response to Information
Request. If they refuse, the Response will read "no information
currently available." Contacting oral sources is also subject to
time constraints; for example, there are periods of the year when
academics are unavailable.
