Oral Tradition is often referred to as history that has not been written down.
Depending on the context, such as in cultural anthropology and Archaeology classes, the term for history not written down can also be prehistory, assuming it covers a time period before there were written records. In still another context, such as when describing details of everyday life of past peoples, it can be called the unwritten history - because it was during the historic period, but was not considered significant enough for anyone to write down.
Oral means spoken, so no. But it can be written down later, at which time it is written history, not oral history.
Before history was written down people passed down their history by telling stories.

There is such a things a Proto-history which is that era, incorporating the Dark Ages, so called because of the lack of written texts, where only a few exmaples of writing survive and History, as in the record of the past, is unravelled from later texts, Bede for instance in England, the Anglo Saxon Chronicle, and various oral sources also subsequently written down in later times, sagas and poems for instance, the Song of Roland and Beowulf being the two best examples. History of History could also know as the history where history come from .

The relationship between unwritten history and written history is that written history came from unwritten history. History originally came from people passing down stories about what happened.
