Jordan et al: Yes, this is a hard one, since EAD is specifically for finding aids and not for oral histories. But since there are significant advantages to aggregating oral history data with finding aid content (we have over 200 EADs representing oral histories in our database), Northwest Digital Archives created a work-around. You can find the oral history encoding guidelines with our other Best Practices at http://nwda.wsulibs.wsu.edu/tools.html Of course, we have yet to see how that works out in the long run. As we explore possibilities for further data aggregation, we will find out more about how this works.
