Introduction to Family / Organizational Oral History

The grandparents, aunts, uncles, our own parents told us about “the way it was” and when they passed and we thought, “why didn’t we collect those stories?” This two-session workshop beginning Thursday, December 1st will help you collect those family stories while there is still time. It will cover easy to use equipment, how to collect material, and ways to preserve the documents. The same principles also apply to the collection and archiving of organizational history. The founder, super-sales rep  or even the janitor who knows how everything works,  won’t be around forever, and why not get the story of “how it all began”collected now?

Two sessions 7:00-8:30 PM on Thursdays, Dec 1 and 15th.
