About this Event

Oral history is an important way to preserve the memories, stories and voices of family so their wisdom and experience can be passed down to future generations. Interviewing can supplement existing genealogical work or family archiving projects adding critical information to family trees and breathing life into photographs and other documents. This workshop will provide crucial tips for recording interviews with family weaving in special considerations for using heirlooms and objects. Participants will be asked to consider their own family histories including questions they may ask and where they may find additional genealogical research sources.

This workshop will be led by oral historian Anna Kaplan, PhD.

The DC Oral History Collaborative (DCOHC) documents, preserves, and celebrates the lived experiences of all Washington, DC residents and communities through oral history. The Collaborative accomplishes this by providing training, mentorship, resources, programs, and funding to current and aspiring oral historians. The Collaborative is a partnership of HumanitiesDC and the DC Public Library
