Documenting Ourselves: An oral history workshop

Need a reminder about our Community Roots Oral History Project event series?

This interactive workshop is for community members interested in learning an oral history process and tools for documenting their family or community history. We’ll practice our listening skills, consider how to spark memories and make a meaningful connection through the interview process, learn recording techniques and technology, and explore ethical considerations of recording other peoples’ stories. Participants leave with skills and confidence to carry out an oral history interview with a loved one.

Snacks provided. Ages 16 and up. Please register ahead of time.
