dc oral history collaborative

Are you interested in oral histories--where to find them and how to do them?  Check out the DC Oral History Collaborative, which is a partnership among DC Public Library, Historical Society of Washington, DC and HumanitiesDC.

"The DC Oral History Collaborative is an ambitious city-wide initiative to document and preserve the history of Washington’s residents and communities through the collection of oral histories. The project will survey and publicize existing oral history collections, provide grants and training for scholars and amateur historians to launch new oral history projects, and establish an interactive, accessible platform where the city’s memories can benefit residents and scholars for generations to come."

There will be a final community meeting @Benning Library on Thursday 9 March, 7-8:30pm.  Click here to learn more and to RSVP.
