The Palestinian Rural History Project (PRHP) is an ethnographic fieldwork and oral history preservation initiative with a focus on Palestinian rural history and heritage since the late Ottoman period (–1917), through the British Mandate period (1918–1948) and beyond. The PHRP is curated by Roy Marom.
Palestinian historian Beshara Doumani, stressed the importance of oral history to "writing Palestinians into history," while Israeli historian Kobi Peled noted that most Palestinian oral history projects "focus on the Nakba - including its causes and consequences." According to its mission statement, the Palestinian Rural History aims - in contrast - to document Palestine's historical geography, genealogies, toponymy, archaeology, agricultural practices, traditions and lore. As of October 2022, the project has documented 700 Palestinian villages, comprising about 65% of the historically inhabited sites in Israel/Palestine.
In addition to the Palestinian Rural History Project, other notable Palestinian oral history projects are the American University of Beirut's Palestinian Oral History Archive (POHA), and the Palestinian Oral History Map, Columbia University's Oral History Project in New York, Duke University's Palestinian Oral History Project, Palestine Remembered, and Zochrot.
