This month our program features a mini-oral history workshop. With so many families accessing ancestry.com or 123 and Me for their backgrounds, many often wonder about their more recent ancestors—say great grandparents or great aunt or uncle. That leads us to the nest question: What is an oral history? It’s a life story. You can think of it as a series of “mini memories” that oral historians capture to compile into one life story. This workshop offers ways to capture a few “Mini Memories” from your loved ones. With the holidays fast approaching, I’m sure that you have thought about gathering family stories from loved ones, but never quite knew what equipment you needed, how to ask the questions, and how long to in terview? Ask no more, that’s what this month’s episode is about.
