Oral history projects

Oral history projects involve recording and preserving people's first-hand accounts of past events. These projects aim to capture personal experiences, memories, and cultural insights through interviews and storytelling. Often conducted by researchers or volunteers, oral histories provide valuable perspectives that complement written records, enriching our understanding of history. They can focus on specific themes, such as community traditions, significant social changes, or family histories. The recordings can serve educational purposes, support historical research, and help keep diverse voices and experiences alive for future generations.
