About this event

  • 2 hours

Do you want to strengthen your ability to collect, preserve, and share the stories of your community? Attend our upcoming oral history workshops! At these sessions, participants will learn about creating successful questions for interviews, navigating the legal elements of oral history projects, and using recording technology that fits different budget levels.

These workshops will be led University of Delaware librarians Amanda McCollom, Associate Librarian and Multimedia Literacy Librarian, and John Caldwell, Associate Librarian and Political and Public Policy Papers Archivist.

Please note that this is an in-person event in Georgetown, Delaware.

Funding for our oral history workshops has been provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) as part of the United We Stand: Connecting Through Culture initiative.
