Books are Only Half the Story

Our oral histories capture important stories straight from the mouths of the people that lived them. Volunteers will listen to oral histories and create a sort of "table of contents" which lets researchers know where to listen for particular topics. This makes oral histories more accessible, as listeners can skip straight to the information that they are interested in.
