History Matters: Oral Histories

Written by Arturo Contreras Wednesday, 12 August 2009 19:45

Every community –whether it’s your neighborhood, family, or other special group—has a legacy to document, remember, and share. Through conducting intimate interviews, learn how to listen to and draw out people’s stories to compose a rich and vivid oral history.  Bring it to your local library or museum, use it as a focus piece for community dialogue, or present it on your website.
