Whenever possible, ethnographers should record conversation (interviews) with the "natives." This Short Take deals with mnemonic procedures that an ethnographer can use when recording is impossible for external reasons. The author recommends two methods: (1) memory training and (2) recalling of the interview "in your mind's eye" three times, each with increasing recall of detail
