For oral histories in my job we use a digital recorder designed for
music recording. The Edirol R09HR (possibly a later model available
now as mine is 2 years old). It is very popular with oral historians
because its easy to use and to upload to a computer and has good
inbuilt microphones.
If anyone is seriously interested I have a 15 page guide booklet
compiled for oral historians by John Hockney that I imagine he will be
happy to share to another field of users.
The cost was $550 in 2008.
