Perhaps foremost in this effort has been Ilan Documents, the journal of the historical office of Ilan County. It has carried a series of interviews with hairdressers, cooks, bus drivers, musicians, watch makers, coffin shop owners and oven-builders.

這其中，刊載在宜蘭縣史館刊物「宜蘭文獻」上包括理髮師、廚師、牽罟、客運司機、戲班樂師、鐘錶、棺材店、做灶等行業的口述訪談，是目前有系統對地方庶民的訪談之一。
