Oral history is history that was not written down as it happened but after it had been passed down by word of mouth. Great grandparents told their children who told their children who told you. It was also stories that were handed down from generation to generation in cultures so that it would be remembered. Eventually it would be written, but when it was finally written there were no living wittnesses.
