Oral History Transcriptions

ORGANIZATION: ARMENIAN CULTURAL ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA INC

The Armenians of Whitinsville Project (www.armeniansofwhitinsville.org) is conducting a series of approximately hour long interviews of Armenians with ties to the town of Whitinsville, MA. The interviews speak to what it was like to grow up in town, what the community was like and how Armenian identity has changed over the last 100 years or so. A volunteer would listen to the tape on Vimeo and follow the otter edit and correct the transcription for content, time stamps and the person speaking. At this point we have one oral history to be done, but may have another. Please let me know if you have the technology (Adobe Premiere) to also do subtitling work. This is not required, but more curioius than anything.

The person doing the transcribing would be working with organizers of the project, and get a sense for what goes into building out an archival community website.
